It seems like forever since I was able to play the inspiration challenge or the stampin B's challenge. It was so much fun to make this card. The Stampin' B' challenge #43 was to make a card with a flower, die cut and butterfly. This went so well with this handbag from Espe. I love my new layers of color butterfly, and I have used it a lot this last month, but last night I was cleaning up my stamping area and saw this little butterfly. It is my other favorite butterfly, and I knew I just had to use it again. I brayered the background, masked the sun. Stamped flourishes in orange and stamped little yellow flowers. I added color to the flowers and butterfly with my prisma colored pencils. There is just a touch of green for the Stampin' Sisters is Christ challenge.
