The sketch …
… and here is my card.
Tips:
- As this design has a large open layer, I decided to try Jennifer McGuire’s Masking with Die Cuts Technique. I absolutely love the effect and can see that I will be going through all my dies to see what others I can use for this fabulous technique. Thanks so much for the inspiration Jennifer.
- I used both of the large butterfly dies from the Butterfly Beauty Dies with Highland Heather and Gorgeous Grape inks.
- Die cut both dies from some masking paper. I use the Avery Removable Multi-Purpose Labels.
- Centre the narrow mask on a piece of Whisper White cardstock. Sponge lightly all over the cardstock with a light shade of ink (I used Highland Heather).
- Place the wider mask over the top of the narrow mask and sponge with a darker ink – particularly around the shape of the mask.
- Carefully remove both masks and keep for your next project.
- Some Wink of Stella on the uninked white part of the butterfly adds some sparkle.
