Good afternoon! I'm super tight on time today so I apologize for the lack of much of a description, but I wanted to get this posted ahead of the new Ways To Use It challenge being posted tomorrow and get this "in" while it's still "on time" for WT692 (sponging)! :0)
I recently competed an Easy Ink Blending Techniques course from Altenew Academy as part of their Educator Certification Program I am taking, and boy was I impressed! Amy threw in a lot of tips I hadn't encountered before, and I've done some ink blending in my day! I was inspired by many things, but the whole course I couldn't get this butterfly out of my mind as a perfect fit for a birthday card for my mother-in-law!
It's hard to see, but this thing absolutely glitters all over, from the metallic background to the details I added all over the butterfly with a glitter gel pen. It's mesmerizing and makes me happy! :0) hehe
Thanks so much for stopping by and viewing my card!
Blessings,
C

This blew my mind before I read about all the shimmer! I love the tones you used on the butterfly and even the envelope is breathtaking. I can picture your MIL flipping over this beauty!

Beautiful gorgeous colors and design!!! BTW, Have I ever told you how much I love your user name and avatar? I used to do some reining when I had my horses. My DH and I have lower back problems that started keeping us from riding any more so we sold our babies to someone who would use them and love them like we did! I miss putting my nose in my horses neck! I miss the smell of my saddle too! (insert sad face here!).
