Paper Smooches Butterflies

Hey crafters!

 

I'm popping in with a late night, early morning post :)

 

Remember that stamp hoarding I was talking about  last week? Well one of the stamp companies i acquired during my hoard was Paper Smooches. Yes I know it's quite shocking I have not previously purchased any of their adorable stamps!

 

Well now that I have them I couldn't help but play along with their current challenge.

 

Here is the inspiration photo

 

 

So like the wonderful design team member Jocelyn Olson I had no Paper Smooches butterfly stamps. What is a girl to do? Well, create her own of course!

 

 

 

I only own two Paper Smooches sets as of right now. One is I Heart Art and the Other is Spookalicious. Neither screams butterfly but I think I found a way to make it work.

 

I started by wiping broken china and iced spruce distress ink on my craft mat. After I sprayed the heck out of it with water I pressed my panel into it to create my cloud like background.

 

After I dried it I used the triangles (i.e. jack o'lantern eyes) from Spookalicious to create butterfly wings. I stamped them Hero Arts shadow inks, royal red, raspberry jam, and bubblegum. I used a fine pen to draw in their antennas and bodies then used my white gel pen to add some detail.

I rounded all 4 corners and adhered it with dimensional adhesive.

 

The sentiment is a partial from I Heart Art. I masked it to just use the hello. Add a rhinestone and done!

 

I'm super happy with my triangle butterflies, ha! Thanks for stopping by :)
