Furthering my quest to use the scraps I keep generating I designed this card. Don't you just love the Tonic Studio Butterfly Border Punch?? Yep...those beautiful tiny butteryflies and dots are a border punch!!! I love anything with butterflies and I have been dying to use this punch since I got it...and every once in a while I have been playing with it..punching it into scraps envisioning all the cool things I could do with it once I finished all my Christmas Projects....I am sure you will see several projects using this punch. To view the other projects I have made using Tonic Studio Punches go to the category typelist of the right handside of my blog and click on Tonic Studios- this will allow you to see all the projects I have posted using Tonic Studio Punches.
I decided to use black cardstock for my card so that the butterflies would pop and I decided to add a Peel Off Butterfly Sticker also from Best Creations.
I used my Copic Sketch Markers to color in the Butterfly so that it would coordinate with my paper. I used the following colors:
Here is a photo showing you the beginning of the Copic Coloring of the butterfly:
All of the glitter paper from Best Creations is suitable for additional Copic Color to be added into the design I need to play a little more to see how much shading can actually be acheived on this printed cardstock.
I decided not to do any shading of the butterfly as I didn't want to draw to much attention to it- as this might throw off the balance of the card. This particular set of Peel off Stickers also came with some beautiful floral stickers which I added just below the punched butterflies.
Next I used my Heidi Swap large clear Thanks stamp and embossed it in super fine detail balack embossing powder from ranger. Then I added in Seafoam White and Gold Embossed Flourishes use my Rubber Stamp Tapestry Flourish Plate 1 Set - in the same way I added them to yesterday's Cherish Card. Stop back in tomorrow to see the next card I designed with this great punch!!
