Butterflies galore!

 

You might have seen me use this CC die the other day with glitter, as it is a prize in the current Snippets Playground challenge.

I decided before putting away to have a go at another idea I had. I used the die to cut my own stencil. Because I won't be using it a lot I just used thick card rather than mylar. You can see the result above. I used some texture paste with a little Lucious pigment powder from Indigo Blu mixed in. A few of the tiny butterflies ended up as a blob, so I used the waste from the die to put over them and coloured with a sparkly gell pen.

I used patterned paper from an old Phill Martin pad to stencil onto and then stencil words from a Studio light stencil in pink and a stamped sentiment from Simply Graphic. Mounted onto a TL diecut.

I'd like to enter this card into the challenge at Triple B challenge.

Of course then I had another idea! To use the stencil again this time with distress inks. I don't think the definition was as good this time around, so I took the die and placed it over the inking and then ran around it with a gell pen. I thought that gave it some shape. Papers are from another PM pad and sentiment came with the die.
