Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop – Butterfly Brilliance

Welcome to the May 2022 Ink & Inspiration Blog Hop. You may be starting at my blog or landed here from another one.
Each month there is a new Inspirational image and colour challenge, you can use either part to create your project. Either
INK – use the colour challenge to create a project unrelated to the image -{There will generally be 5 colours for the colour challenge you may use some or all colours plus Stampin’ Up! basics range (black, white, vanilla) or
INSPIRATION – use the image subject as inspiration for your project any way you can tie them together is fine. This is the beautiful image for this month:

I chose to use the colours, and this is my card:

I used the Butterfly Brilliance stamp set heat embossed the butterflies with black embossing powder. I used a spare piece of paper to cut out the butterflies with the
Brilliant Wings dies, and then used it as a mask. I paced it over my embossed image, and using my blending brushes applied the different colour inks.

You are currently visiting Tracy Held at Trace Of Creativity in Australia. Please see the list below & hop through all of the other participants to see how they were inspired by the gorgeous picture.
