Today's inspiration website was so full of wonderful stuff that I had to do a second card before I quit for the day. I chose this -- http://www.tracyporter.com/Katsina-R...r-p-17534.html -- because I thought the design on it looked like a butterfly and I loved the colors.
I stamped two images of my favorite butterfly stamp, SU's retired Stipple Butterfly, and colored it with Prismacolor and Copic markers. I cut one image out with a Nestabilities die. After going over the second butterfly with a Stardust gel pen to give it a little shimmer, I cut it out totally and popped it up on the first one. It's hard to see on the photo, but I stippled the white circle with River Rock.
This card also qualifies for the Stampin'B's challenge this week which was to use a butterfly. If you'd like to play along, here's the link -- http://stampinbsdesignteam.blogspot.com/
