The Artistic Stamper Birds and Bees theme... with a twist

Hi folks, I'm here with another creation for the Birds and Bees theme this month. But with a twist... I've used butterflies.

I used The Artistic Stamper A5 Insects and Butterflies stamp set, which has a gorgeous collection of winged creatures. 

On my last creation for this theme I used birds and the previous one, I used bees. So, this time I went with a more pretty version of a winged creature - butterflies. I love butterflies! I have quite a wide variety of butterfly stamps and even though I have many, I still continue to collect them, as you can never have enough!!!

Here is my creation...

I coloured a piece of white card with Distress Inks using Mustard Seed, Cracked Pistachio and Blueprint Sketch. 

I then sprayed the inked background with water and left to dry.

I used The Artistic Stamper 3 x 3 Harlequin Mask with the same colours of ink to add some depth.

I then stamped the butterflies from the Insects and Butterflies stamp set on to white card and coloured them them with Carved Pumpkin, Wilted Violet and Picked Raspberry Distress Inks.

I adhered the butterflies at different heights coming off the background.

I then stamped the word 'fly' using black Versafine ink then 
over-stamped with Carved Pumpkin Distress Ink, and lightly brushed Blueprint Sketch ink over the top. I matted the word on to Kraft Card and glued it to the  bottom corner of the background.

To finish, I matted the background on to Kraft Card.

Thanks for popping by.

Toodles for now,
