I ran through all my stamp sets and tried to find the perfect butterfly. This is what I came up with. I used memento dew drop ink pads to ink up the entire butterfly stamp with the lightest color Angle Pink first as a base color, then I dabbed Rose Bud, Lulu Lavendar, Lilac Posies, Sweet Plum on the stamp randomly here and there to make the butterflies all colorful.
Then
I suddenly remembered my beloved but recently neglected big butterfly
stamp and I had to use it to make another card. The same method was used
for this big beauty.
Here is a close up.
Here are the two cards side by side.

Simply beautiful - I love how you you paired that fabulous sentiment with those gorgeous butterflies. The different colours of ink you used to create them create a pretty - almost watercoloured look - love it! Thanks so much for playing along with us at Time Out! Jill
