Little Butterfly Lucy

Good morning to you - I hope you are well. Thanks for your kind comments yesterday - I'm very excited about todays make - its very bright - but I love it to pieces - I hope you do too. Its a layout for the challenge over at Scrap 365 where you have to use their sketch. Here's my layout first then I'll show you the sketch later. Have you got those sunnies on?

Here's the sketch I followed:

I took a piece of A3 Centura pearl and cut it to 12x12 size - it was actually 11.75 x 11.75.  Next I added bright distress stains (to match the colours in the photo) to my craft mat and spritzed them with water - then I swooshed the card through the paints. I tried to cover as much of the card as possible then dried with a heat gun. Next I applied distress ink to fill any gaps and give even more impact.

Next came the stamping - I used black versafine and a fluorish stamp from sheena douglass and a butterfly stamp from chocolate baroque. I then did some stencilling using the TH bubble stencil and some black dreamweaver embossing paste.

Then I stamped the title - and left everything to dry. Finally I used a white pen to add highlights - - I think this is so effective! I wish to enter my layout into the following challenges:
