Butterfly Reflections, Ink

I'm back sharing this mood board- inspired card with you today using a mix of old and new products from Pretty Pink Posh !  The blues, yellows and pinks were inspired by the mood board below. To start, an A2 piece of Bristol cardstock was cut using the smallest scallop ovals die which is available from Pretty Pink Posh website.  The panel was then ink blended using distress oxide inks: black soot , blueprint sketch and salty ocean for the night sky.   Hillside stencil used to create a grassy hill using distress oxide colors pine needles and mowed lawn .  After the background was dry, I splattered white acrylic paint and added white gel pen to fill in the stars for the night sky. After using a powder tool,  the sentiment from thoughtful greetings  was stamped using Versamark ink  and white heat embossed.   Images from bunny friends , baby, and spring days stamp set were stamped using potting soil archival ink. ...

Hi all!  Welcome back!  Today marks my official last post for this term for the Butterfly Reflection Ink DT!  It went SO FAST!  4 months flew by, I'll tell ya!  But, I am so happy for the opportunity to design for Vanessa's shop and make some new friends too!
