Butterfly stamp

Carved a new butterfly stamp... see?


I played with it a lot the day I carved it (the only craft day I had last week was fruitful!),  so I will enter the various cards into various challenges...

Rainbow butterfly birthday:
 Tim Holtz resist paper wth Color Bursts; butterfly stamped in Ranger Archival on Yupo which had been inked with a rainbow of Adirondack AIs; sentiment written with a Sharpie brush marker and highlighted with gel pens.

...zoom for the full effect...
Lino-looking thanks:
Butterfly inked with Distress Embossing Ink and embossed wth Recollections EP; painted with Loew Cornell watercolors; sentiment written with a Zig Emboss-writer and embossed with Recollections EP.
Greeny-moth:
Butterfly  (Uh... I think it looks moth-like on thus tag... don't ask me...) inked with Distress Embossing Ink and embossed with Custer's Last Stamp EP in silver; watercolored with Loew Cornell colors; library catalog card base textured with Teresa Collins modeling paste through a stencil made from a Tim Holtz Mixed Media die; once dry, sprayed with Dylusions in Fresh Lime, then pewter EP (by Custer's Last Stamp) added while spray was wet and then heated. Moth mounted with 3M foam tape.  Darice metallic hemp added to hang. 

I'd like to share Rainbow Butterfly Birthday with:

Thanks for following this strange post... I should have done it all separately like usual.  This is too busy for my taste!

  4. Fantastic use of your wonderfully carved wood stamp - I imagine that it would be brilliant or printing onto fabric too. Beautiful work.

  8. No moths here, but a beautifully designed by Mimi butterfly. You've got many talents. I'm decades away from even daring to attempt something like this. The colors of the first one are so eye catching. And then the black and white one looks stylish in all its simplicity, and with the silver color you've achieved an entirely different look (still butterfly, no moth)
