Ouch...

...My fingers already hurt from all the cutting, but it will be worth it!! I finally found this stamp set at my LSS yesterday and couldn't wait to make some of these!!  I {heart} Jennifer McGuire :)

So I stamped out a ton with Staz-On black ink, and colored them all in with Tim Holtz distress inks, a paintbrush, and water.  I want some Copics soooo bad, but have not yet been able to splurge on them.   I was able to get a similar effect with the inks, so it's all good!  I put some ink on my craft sheet and spritzed with water, and painted all the butterflies.  Then I gave them all another spritz with Perfect Pearls and water for some shimmer ;)




Now back to more cutting...!

....update...

I am finished, yay!

Here's the aftermath of destruction lol




And the pretty part!  Look at all those beauties!

  2. Good job! :)
    I did some of these the other day --- same stamp set. Got the idea from her blog too! Are we friends on facebook? I have a pic on there --- I should probably upload it to my blog too, huh? :)

    They are beautiful! I'm assuming they'll end up on some cards?
