Sum More Fun . . .

Happy Monday All!

While 'chatting' with BFF Diane (Nellie's Nest) yesterday, we decided to each pick a challenge for a day of this week that we had open on our blogs and each join in ... just to see how different (or same) our creations would be using the same challenge theme.

Today we are playing along in the SumMore Fun Challenge Blog
Blog Badge

and here's a peek at their mood board for the current challenge  ...


HERE is what I came up with using the (top center) image from
the mood board as my inspiration ...


The product used on this creation is:

Inkadinkado Stamp (front)
Impression Obsession Stamp (inside)
Versafine Onyx Ink
Finger dauber

INSIDE
As you can see,  I used the remaining panel from my front oval cut for the inside of my card.

For the butterfly:
I created two different watercolor panels using Tim Holtz Oxide Distress Inks in various shades of blue.  One I used for my oval panel as a background for my butterfly panels and the second one for the butterfly itself.  I actually die cut the butterfly 3 times (twice from white card stock & once from the blue watercolor panel)  After gluing them together, I then laid my die onto the watercolor panel,  traced around it & fussy cut it out to create my solid background panel.  This helped to create extra movement & dimension on my butterfly.


The flowers were also cut twice.  Once from a scrap of white card stock that I colored with my yellow Spectrum Noir alcohol marker and that a second 'outline' cut for the backing.  They were both shaped using a stylus & foam mat.

Challenges to share in:
