Morning, time for another intro from the Uniko February release.
Today we are introducing a butterfly stencil and re introducing the Bright Butterflies stamp set.
Here's my take on the stencil incorporating an older stencil and English Country Garden Butterflies Stamp set and matching Dies.
This is a 3 part stencil that allows you to build your own butterflies, so endless possibilities.
When faced with a new set I always struggle to decide on the ink colours to use, a bit like an artist faced with a blank canvas! For this panel I eventually went with a naturalistic colourway, reminding me of the small brown butterflies that I see flitting across the long grass at the edge of the fields, filling the gaps with silhouetted small butterflies from the Bright Butterflies stencil from 2018.
Each solid butterfly from the layering stencil, was inked with Squeezed Lemonade DI at different angles before darker shades of yellow, orange and brown were added using the second layer. Detail was added in Vintage Photo using the detail layer. To make the bodies stand out, I went over them with a black fine liner and with the same fine liner I doodled some extra detail onto the wings.
The heat embossed, vellum butterfly was in the package of my English Country Garden set leftover from an earlier make and proved to be the perfect foil for my Simply Said Block Sentiment.
Next is my take using the Bright Butterflies stamp set.
I used an array of rainbow colours to stamp this flurry of butterflies diagonally across my card front. The end result had such a joyful feel I decided to use a similar sentiment from Spring Botanicals- Daffodil. The end result a simple OLC!
What do you think? Did you get the Bright Butterflies stamp set back in the day?
Anyway why not pop along to the rest of the BAs to find out what they've been up to.
