Jeanne gave us the challenge to get out our gel pens and use them on today's card. I really didn't do anything big & bold...just what I normally do with these pens when I use them...add accents. In this case, there are touches and dots on the flowers and butterfly.
A side note: I like to stamp my butterfly image on computer paper. It is light weight and bends up easily, and I think adds to the "lightness" of the butterfly. Probably not archival, but I'm not really concerned with that.

this is so beautiful, love the brayer colors and the sillhouettes, I never concidered using printing paper for lighter images that need to be folded and I am not really sure why... lol. It's a great idea, I think i'll have to give that a try too. TFS, this is lovely.

Gorgeous butterfly. I don't think there's much point in worrying about archival standards with cards - much better to achieve the effect you want, when it looks so good.
