I started by attaching the first Crafters Companion stencil onto A5 watercolour card.  Using Clarity stencil brushes I inked with three different Distress inks.  I used Saltwater Taffy Distress ink for the first, Bundled Sage Distress ink for the second and finally Fossilised Amber Distress ink for the third.  Once I had covered the card with stencilling I used the ink left on the Clarity stencil brushes to add a very soft background.

I die cut watercolour card and glitter card using Sentimentally Yours Stately Double Debossed Elegant Labels dies.  I also die cut Sizzix Tim Holtz Brushstroke Butterflies Thinlets die from green, red and brown pearlescent card.  I used Tonic Studios and Crafters Companion small butterfly dies with little snippets.  I glued the brushstoke butterfly layers together.  Once dry I painted Tonic Studios Nuvo Glitter Paste onto the red pearlescent card on the Brushstroke Butterflies and left to dry. 

I attached Tim Holtz Flourish stencil to the die cut watercolour card label and added Twisted Citron Distress ink using Clarity stencil brushes.  I attached that to the die cut glitter card.  I stamped the Clarity sentiment stamp onto a snippet of white card using Versafine Clair  Glamorous ink.   I coloured the snippet very lightly using Saltwater Taffy Distress ink the coloured the sentiment. 

I positioned the die  cut labels and glued in place.  I glued the stamped sentiment and the butterflies onto the stencilled label.  Once the glue was dry I added the mini Butterflies and Tonic Studios Nuvo Drops.   Back soon x
