I had an idea in my head to do faux tearing. I sponged baja breeze, marina mist and crumb cake ink. The butterflies are layers of the new DSP Elegant Soiree and Pacific Point.
I wanted to keep this really simple and it's only a one layer card (plus the butterflies).
I did some piercing and added a button with linen thread.

I LOVE this and must try it now. Did you use torn paper to mask off the sponged area? The colors are just beautiful and the fluttering of butterflies is perfect.
