Next I used the Ripples Stencil but not in the way you`d typically use a stencil. Instead of ink blending or adding a textured medium through the stencil, I took a fine tip black pen and traced a few of the circles where I stamped the previous images.
I lost a few of my process photos up to this point but I also used the Seeing Stars Stencil and added a bit of the checkered pattern in the opposite corners using some texture paste. This was allowed to dry and then I went back in with more of the pigment powder. but this time it was already mixed with some water (kind of like a paint) and I added more colour in specific areas to add more depth and layers to it.
I added some colour to the butterfly and a few of the small circles to help them to pop a bit and stand out from the rest. Some black flecks of paint were then added. Once that was dry I ink blended around the edges using a dark brown and a blue distress ink to add even more depth and interest to it. For the sentiment I had originally planned on using the one in the Antisocial Butterfly stamp set but changed my mind and used one from the Affirmations Stamp Set. I added a border to my piece using a black marker and then adhered it all directly to my cardbase.
This is really a gorgeous stamp set and speaks volumes...I know that I myself have definitely felt like an antisocial butterfly on more than 1 occasion. Thank you so very much for stopping by today and I hope that I have helped to inspire you to create something amazing! I wish you all the most amazing day and until next time,
