Hi! This is for today's Featured Stamper - jaydekay. I can't believe I've missed this woman's gallery! It is amazing! There were sooo many cards I could have chosen to case (and in fact may well case another...) but I finally settled on this one: splash of color by jaydekay at Splitcoaststampers
I loved the idea of a black and white card with a colourful butterfly - I am a HUGE butterfly fan (if I could put one on every card I would... lol!).
I changed the following things:
1) Used different stamps (all Verve) - I stuck with the silhouette and butterfly combo.
2) Changed the rectangle to a circle
3) Left off the ribbon
4) Used patterned paper to stamp the butterflies onto instead of colouring.
5) Added more butterflies
6) Added paper piercing
I used a black stardust pen to add highlights to some of the silhouette images so it looks nice and sparkly IRL. I also added black stickles to the butterfly bodies, but sadly you can't see the sparkle in the photo!
Hope you like...

This is so stunning with the predominant black and white and just the pop of color in the butterflies!!
