Welcome to this week's LIMES inspiration post!
I chose this card as my inspiration from the gallery of this week's Splitcoaststampers' Featured Stamper!
INCLUDE: vertical, overlapping arrangement of main image
MODIFY: theme to spring, flowers to butterflies, slimline to A2, die cuts to stamping and colouring,
EXCLUDE: 3D elements, kraft frame
SPIN: added a sentiment
This gallery is amazing - absolutely full of gorgeous 3-dimensional flowers! Although these are clematis and it was likely a summer card, they remind me of poinsettias and Christmas, and I started by changing my theme to spring, by using stamped butterflies.
I used a couple of old-school tools for this card - an old favourite woodblock stamp and a stamp-a-ma-jig to help with positioning. I masked to get an overlapping look, and then I coloured very simply with pastel shades of copic markers. Then I masked them again and blended the background for some contrast.
An exquisite spring card Ardyth - your masking of the images really brought out the design of the butterflies, and some dimension.

I'm not usually a huge butterfly fan, but I just love that stamp! When we started traveling I converted my collection of woodblock stamps to foam backing and put them in binders so I can use them in my stamp positioning tool.
