Butterfly Collage

Simon Says Stamp and Show challenge this weekend is about background stamps!  I love my background stamps and they have always been the first stamps I am drawn too.

I actually started this project from last weeks project.  Those frames I used in my project had to be misted. Whenever I am misting a shape I love to throw it on a piece of white cardstock so I can pick up the reverse image on the cardstock.

This was the leftover pieces from my previous project. I cut it down to use the portion of the background I wanted in my piece.

I stamped the background script stamp using Versamark watermark ink onto the background. I heat embossed the script with white embossing powder.

I then added a layer of poppies using versamark watermark ink and white embossing powder.  I also stamped a butterfly on the other misted scrap with no stencil.  I embossed the butterfly with white embossing powder.  I stamped the sentiment onto white cardstock and cut it into a shape of a banner. I decided to add a hint of orange to my pieces and used a sponge to apply orange dye ink.

The edges were distressed and added to a distressed cardbase. I spritzed a white flower with orange dye ink and added it to the center of the butterfly.
