Miracles Blossom Butterfly

Hi there! I have a pretty simple card to show you today. I made this for a recent magazine sketch submission call, but it didn't get picked up. All the images are from Hope Grows. The card base is 4.25 by 4.25 inches. I had someone ask me recently about what size most of my cards are and I've lost track of the email or comments, so I will answer here that almost every card I make is the A2 size, 4.24 by 5.5 inches.

I used Pure Luxury White for my card base and punched a hole in a sticky note to make a mask. Then I placed the mask on the card base and sponged Memento Cantaloupe ink.

I moved the mask to the side and sponged Memento Tangelo ink.

Then moved it to the other side and sponged Memento Tangelo again.

I used the mask again and stamped the leafy branch, using Memento Bamboo Leaves.

I moved the mask and stamped the branch a few more times, then I stamped the butterfly, with Memento Tuxedo Black ink.

I stamped the butterfly again, on another piece of Pure Luxury White card stock and used Copics to color. I started with RV19.

I added RV25.

Then added RV23. I left some white space for highlighting, and used my blender pen on those areas to let some of the pink bleed in, softening the transition. After coloring, I cut out the butterfly.

I stamped the sentiment directly on the card base and used my YG23 to highlight the word "blossom."

I used Pop Dots to adhere the cut butterfly over the card base butterfly.

Thanks for visiting. I hope you have a wonderful day!
