Fusion Card Challenge - Ombre Butterfly

Do you love to play challenges? They're a great way to give your creativity a jump start. I really enjoy seeing the different projects people create inspired by the challenge.

This is the challenge that begins today at Fusion Card Challenge. It's called "Ombre". I'm immediately drawn to the photo inspiration. I love the colorful swoops of paint that make me want to get messy. If you're not loving the inspiration you can always work with just the sketch. Here's what I made!

I inked up Pretty Pink Posh Beautiful Butterflies in ombre shades of orange Copic markers. I stamped the sentiment and framed it with the Scallop Circles die.

Now for the background. I inked a white card stock panel with Spun Sugar, Squeezed Lemonade, and Dried Marigold. I layered the Triangles stencil over the panel and inked with darker shades of distress ink. Worn Lipstick inked over the Spun Sugar, Mustard Seed over the Squeezed Lemonade, and Carved Pumpkin over the Dried Marigold. When I removed the stencil I gave it a splash of water, and then another splash of white ink .

t was fun to arrange the beautiful butterflies around the sentiment. The finishing touch is always a touch of bling. I added jewels in new Flamingo Pink and Marigold.
