Wonderful site Stacy chose for the IC! After looking for quite a while, I kept coming back to THIS picture for the lovely butterfly. I colored my butterfly a little differently, though+.
I put this lovely image in my Misti, stamped & colored w/ Copics. I used Prismacolor pencils to do a light overlay in areas then over stamped it to bring back the details. It was die cut & I had to do a little out of the boxn the leaves on the left. I had a couple of left over rectangles in 2 shades of purple & I thought they looked nice behind the upper left & helped balance out the composition. I had to finagle the greeting a bit to work around the image & I added a little white gel pen around a loop of the J to help it stand out. A little wink of Stella was added...hard to see here, but shimmery in real life!
Thanks so much for looking. Closeups & the inside are on my blog: The Write Stuff

I can just smell those lilacs from my computer screen Julie! Can't wait until they are blooming this spring - your butterfly is enjoying their nectar already! Beautiful colors on this!

Lilac are one of my favorite spring flowers. There scent is amazing. Love how you colored the images and the pop of purple in the left corner is so pretty.
