Lawn Fawnatics Challenge #51: Sketch

15 Apr

Good morning!  It’s time for a new Lawn Fawnatics challenge and it is a fun sketch!

Here’s my take on the challenge!

Sending Hugs by Jessica Frost-Ballas for Lawn Fawnatics

I decided to use the pretty Layered Butterflies to create the focal point of the card.  I die-cut the larger butterfly once with black cardstock and once with white cardstock.  I also die-cut the outline with black cardstock.  I adhered the black frame to the black outline.  Then I copic-colored the white cardstock and then puzzle-pieced each piece into the black frame.  I adhered the butterfly’s body cut from silver glitter cardstock and then added a thick layer of spectrum noir clear sparkle to the butterfly and set it aside to dry.

Next I used distress inks in peacock feathers, blueprint sketch, and wilted violet to paint an ombre stripe diagonally across a piece of watercolor paper.  I let it dry while I heat-embossed a sentiment from Simply Sentiments onto black cardstock with white embossing powder and trimmed it to a thin label.  I folded the butterfly’s wings up slightly and adhered the body over the watercolor stripe with ATG adhesive.  Then I added thin strips of foam mounting tape behind the butterfly’s wings to pop them up slightly.  I adhered my sentiment with foam mounting tape and finished the card with a few enamel hearts!

And now it’s your turn!  I can’t wait to see what you create!!  You can link up your entries on the Lawn Fawnatics blog!  Thanks so much for visiting and have an amazing day!

    Love the simplicity of the black outline die cut of the butterfly ! The simple swash of color makes it so stunning!

    […] Jessica color coordinated her Layered Butterfly with a lovely watercolor painted stripe! I love how she added the sparkly silver butterfly body! […]
