Sponge Inspired Butterfly!

Papers:  Memory Box Frond, misc. white cs
Stamps:  Memory Box Inspire Butterfly Collage G1352
Stamp Ink:  SU creamy caramel, sage shadow, barely banana; VersaMark, Ranger clear ep, Adirondack latte
Embellishments:  Flower Soft nut brown, misc. ribbon

The other day, I shared with you a sponging technique I like to use.  If you missed the instructions, see this post here.  I also created a card with that image which you can see here.  Well, today's card  uses the same technique but with a bit of a twist--I sponged just a piece of the image and then "pieced" that over the original stamped image.  Here is how I created this card using the new Memory Box Inspire Butterfly Collage stamp {G1352}.

1.  Stamp the butterfly portion of the stamp onto white cardstock using VersaMark ink and emboss with clear embossing powder.
2.  Sponge the wing of the butterfly using three different ink colors.
3.  Next, cut out the wing and set it aside.
4.  Stamp the entire image onto another piece of white cardstock, trim and ink edges.
5.  Piece the sponged wing you set aside on top of this stamped image.
6.  Add Flower Soft to the body of the butterfly and let dry.
7.  Cut a piece of Memory Box Frond paper to fit your white card base. Ink the edges of the Frond piece.
8.  Attach ribbon and adhere that piece to your card.
9.  Use pop dots to adhere butterfly image on top to finish.

I hope you enjoy this. I really loved doing this and piecing it plus the Flower Soft is perfect for the body of this flower!  Enjoy, and see you again soon!

Wow, so pretty and the flower soft is so realistic looking on the pretty butterfly.

Creative ideas! I like it. I also try to make designs out of sponge but not in a card. Anyway, thanks for sharing this post. I've got an idea.
