I started by stamping the AALL & Create Feather Besties stamp with Memento Tuxedo ink onto smooth white card then I coloured the image with Tonic Studios alcohol markers attempting lots of blending so I didn't end up with blocks of colour.  I stamped the Clarity Crafts sentiment onto a snippet of white card using Versafine Clair Glamorous ink and trimmed.

Once I was happy with the colouring I matted and layered the image onto Sizzix Textured card.  I went through my stash of patterned papers and trimmed one A4 piece to cover a 5" x 7" card, then I trimmed two further largish snippets to mat and layer.  I glued EC0110 papers onto my card and the stamped and coloured image onto Sizzix card.  I die cut a Crafters Companion butterfly from the matching printed butterfly book of images.

I added the image and sentiment using foam pads and the die cut butterfly with Pinflair Glue Gel.   I finished with Tonic Studios Nuvo Drops.   Back soon x
