I started with a background created on a 8 1/2" x 11" piece of white cardstock. I stamped the background using ODBD Honeycomb background using Ranger Archival Ink Coffee. I inked up the stamp and then used a baby wipe to wipe off portions of the stamp before stamping to give an uneven effect on the background. After I finished stamping the entire surface I sponged white acrylic paint across the surface.
The background was cut and distressed with a distressing tool and brown dye ink. Stamp the butterfly flourish using Versafine Toffee and Ranger Archival Coffee ink on the background. Stamp again on a another piece of the honeycomb background. Stamp the butterflies using the gold ink and overlay the details with the brown ink. Die cut using the butterfly dies. Stamp the sentiment using the brown ink. Cut and distress edges.
The butterfly dies, stamps and sentiment are all part of the ODBD Gods Love.
Have a wonderful Thursday!
