Butterflies & Bling!

Hello!!  The challenge today at Less is More is to make a CAS card using butterflies.  Not a problem me other than trying to decide which butterfly image to use!   After some thought I decided to use a Memory Box stamp I purchased along time ago and had never used.... sad, I know!!   The image I used is one of their collage stamps called "Inspired Butterfly Collage".   I inked it up with Memento's Tuxedo Black and then colored it with the following Copic markers:  Y11, Y13, Y15 & Y19.   Some Ranger Diamond Stickles were added to the body to finish off the piece.  I mounted it on black cardstock for a bit more dramatic effect (I hope!).

But, I couldn't stop there...  so I made another one!  This time using a fun butterfly image from a stamp set I won from Prickly Pear Stamps along with the matching die.  Love winning stamping stuff, don't you??  Went really super clean and simple for this one.  A piece of Melon Mambo cardstock was sitting on the counter and that was my inpsiration for my color choice.  I diecut the butterfly and then stamped the image using Melon Mambo ink.  Some random pink rhinestones were added.  The sentiment was stamped in Melon Mambo, as well and I was done.   Sigh.... I just love white space!!

With all the added bling on the butterflies I'm going to pop this into the current CAS-ual Fridays challenge, as well.

Thanks for taking a peek....
