{Spotlight Project} Shirley Creates Colourful Butterflies

Hi peeps!  I've been playing with the current STAMP Club stamp and die set, Fluttery, again.  I prepared my card by swooshing and dipping it through Distress Oxides, drying, changing the colours and repeating, and I got these gorgeous colours.

Using the Flourishes stencil I lifted out some of the colour with a damp cloth, then cut the card in half. On the left-hand portion I stamped several butterflies and die-cut them out, as above.

For my card bases I wanted to have a CAS-grungy faded background so I used second- and third-generation stamping in grey:

I selectively inked the stamps without mounting them onto a block so that I could just touch down bits of the stamp where I wanted.  Then - well you know me, I couldn't resist splattering the card fronts with diluted Distress Oxides.

Then it was just a case of choosing which butterflies and which sentiments I wanted.

So from that one little play session I've made two cards and have four butterflies and a couple of sentiments left over for more cards.  Oh, and another piece of Distress Oxide to play with.
