Whimsical Butterfly

Hello! Here is  a mostly monochromatic card I made using the butterfly from Hope Grows. I also pulled out my dusty Copic Airbrush to create the background.

To start, I sponged the background with Memento Cantaloupe.

Then sponged Memento Tangelo.

Next, I placed my Spellbinders Butterflies Impressabilities template to mask the background, then I airbrushed with YR04.

I used Copics to color the butterfly, starting with YR07.

Added Y17.

Added Y21.

Filled in with YR000. After coloring, I cut out the image.

Next, I cut a circle using Nestabilities, trimmed an edge, then sponged with Memento Cantaloupe ink.

Since I had trimmed away the antanea from the butterfly, I stamped it on the circle so they would show when I added the cut out version.  I filled it in with Y17 so there wouldn't be any bright white spots showing under the cut out butterfly. Then I added some shadows with W1 and W3.

I layered with Pure Luxury Chocolate Brown and used a Pumpkin Spice cardbase. The sentiment is also from Hope Grows.

Thanks for stopping by. Have a great day!
