I purchased a Balzer Designs Mini Butterflies 6"x6" Template and was waiting for an opportunity to open the package. I stenciled the butterfly with Distress ink shabby shutters and the detail layer in Stampin' Up new In color "Midnight Muse. I used Tim Holtz' blending tool to sponge the solid portion of the butterfly and a makeup sponge for the blue stencil detailing. I then cut it out and gave the butterfly a little curling with my fingers. I adhered with Glue Glider.
The striped dp is from Making Memories Kids 6x6 Pad Ethan. Liquid pearls was used for the eyes and antennae.

That butterfly is looks so striking on this card. A lovely simple layout that lets the message and image stand out. Glad you got to open that package and play.
