Congrats to f.schles, today's FS429. What a colorful gallery filled with gorgeous backgrounds! I was inspired by this card MIX104 Red butterfly by f.schles at Splitcoaststampers , wanting to incorporate butterflies and white into a colored background.
I stamped the butterfly image from Dare2BArtzy's "Tangle Jumpstart" with Memento Tuxedo Black ink. I colored them with Copic markers, and added some shimmer with a clear Wink of Stella pen.
The background was made by coloring a layer of the background with a Copic marker, then taking a Q-tip and flicking Copic Colorless Blender fluid onto the card, randomly. Then I added some dots, big and small blobs of ink with Copic markers. I then took the Q-tip and dabbed on some white acrylic paint.
Framed with black cardstock, finishing touch a button tied with twine.
Thanks so much for looking!

This is so light and airy, Kecia. Your copic coloring is amazing. I love how the butterfly wings are colored and how you used the blender ink. The bold black outlines adds a fun, whimsical feel. The button is the perfect finishing touch. Thank you eo much for playing in the challenge.
