I had just received a new stamp, die, & stencil bundle from Pinkfresh Studios called Butterflies that I had to try out with this color combination, and here's what I came up with:
I started by inking up the outline stamp, and then matched up the stencils (there are 5 of them to create this butterfly!) and ink blended using Lavender and Aquamarine (that looks like Teal to me!) inks from Pinkfresh Studios. After I die cut the butterfly, I used my WOS to add lots of sparkle to the butterfly's wings.
You can see the sparkle on the upper left wing of the butterfly, but trust me...the sparkle is all over the whole butterfly! I attached the butterfly to a piece of white cardstock that I used my sweet friend Michele's Lil Inker Woodgrain Cover Plate Die on to provide some white on white design, and also added a thin strip of black cardstock, before attaching both to a top folding white card base. I finished with a few Pinkfresh Studio gems and a white embossed sentiment (The Greetery) on a black strip.
Lots of absolutely beautiful inspiration from the whole DT over at Color Hues that you can check out right HERE if you'd like to play along. This challenge is open till May 29th at 9:00AM.
