Am I the only kid who grew up saying flutterbys rather than butterflies or, like so many other things, was that a quirk in my Mother's teachings? We'll never know. Anyway, I love all butterflies but the blue ones with the iridescent wings seem to fascinate me the most. Sadly, we don't have any in my neck of the woods, so when
CAS Watercolor came up with a butterfly challenge, I was in like flint. Watercolored these Penny Black critters with Sapphire Avery Elle and teal Art Spray. Added a Colorado Craft sentiment and a silver Altenew frame I'd not used on a previous project. Shimmered with Ink On 3's Pixie Dust. Done!
We call them flutterbys in our home too. I think your card is stunning and love how you've 'cut' some of the butterflies in your wonderful design. So very striking and I love it! x
ReplyDeleteMy kids always called them flutterbys. My grandkids do too. Your blue flutterbys are so pretty with their shimmery wings! I love how you've framed them and all that shimmer! Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Watercolour!
ReplyDeleteSigh-ably gorgeous, Coni ... the soft blue shimmer is beautiful ... and I love the splatters that add such a perfect sense of movement to these gorgeous flutterbys! Hugs, Anita :)
ReplyDeleteIt's my favorite pet name for them, Coni! OH do I wish I could bloom those gorgeous flutterbys for you... in the meantime I'm loving your paper ones just as much!
ReplyDeleteAre you as surprised as I am that I don't own every single butterfly stamp ever created? This one has flown right by me!! Gorgeous design, fantastic execution!
