The challenge is to distress a clean and simple card and I sponged on ink for the image area and thumbnail distressed the white edge after I got it together and thought it looked in need of something, I think it helped.
-The image area took about five minutes and that includes punching and placing the butterflies to act as a mask and also to cut the square mask which IÂ’ll store for future use.
-When the butterfly masks were removed I sponged on a little more color.
-I did the Nestabilities embossing around the image.
-Distressing with my thumbnail worked in a pinch to jazz it up a bit.
-The punched butterflies are attached with tacky glue. I hadn't really plannned a trail of them but I just kept punching and gluing until I liked it and it helps that they are so fast to work with.
