All stamps are from Impression Obsession... this was for a hop with Julie Balzer showcasing new stamps that coordinate with Crafter's Workshop stencils.
I began coloring my background by applying acrylic paint to heavy cardstock with a sponge. When the base layer was dry, I used the stencils to add texture and color, again applying paint with a sponge. I added the 'fly' word with a Touch Twin Marker, and also used the marker to ink up the butterfly overlay stamp, spritzing it with rubbing alcohol before stamping. I trimmed around the large butterfly wings with a craft knife, and popped them up with foam tape, then shaped the wings with my fingers a little so they had some lift and dimension. I stamped off the smaller butterfly on a scrap piece of paper before stamping it to my background. I used the Butterflies Clear Set, Butterflies stencil, Beads stencil, Tickets stencil, Bird Scene stencil, and Circles stencil.
