Look at that , two posts in two days. Just like old times. (I've had a slight lull in work, but I don't expect it to last long.)
This card features an awesome butterfly die-cut that someone gifted me with. It was cut from white cardstock, and I colored it with what I've heard called the Smoosh-spritz-drag technique -- smoosh Distress inks on a non-absorbent surface, spritz with water, and drag the paper through it. First I used a couple blue Distress inks, and followed with a blue distress oxide ink. The main panel is a piece of ivory cardstock on which I inked brick shapes using a Stamplorations stencil. The sentiment is from Stampin Up.
This card was inspried for the Butterfly Challenge. Mrs. A's shape/technique this time is what she calls an inside out card (definitely check it out here) but I didn't have a really good long die cut to use, so I when with a straight card this time.

Beautiful butterfly for this technique and looks great against the brick wall effect. We have a long brick wall on the side of our house and in the summer months it gets very warm. We often see butterflies on it sunning themselves. Loads of ladybirds too. Thankyou for coming and spinning the butterfly wheel with me this week. Hugs Mrs A.
