I started with a piece of cardstock and the harlequin stencil.
I kept trying different variations of the stencil with the salmon colored mist to get a variegated background.
After I had gotten the right mix on the background of the harlequin pattern I used another stencil to bring in the words and sponged them on with a coral dye ink.
I then decided to add some citron to the background with a few splotches of color. When that was done I needed a focal point and out came the Tim Holtz Butterfly which I split in half with the harlequin in citron and the words in coral.
I think the gray gloomy days had me wanting the bright colors of spring!

Such a sweet card, Suzz. Love the great color combo and fabulous embellishments., :)
ReplyDeleteWhat a fantastic project! Our lawn is covered with a couple of inches of snow, so I love the happy Spring-like colors here. And what a cool way to structure the butterfly! The different patterns and colors on the wings was a clever idea and I am dying over that super-cool Citron circle in the background!
ReplyDeleteDelightful.
