I decided I wanted to try painting my stamp with my Twinkling H20s and then misting them and to stamp. To be honest it seems to have turned out like a do it yourself Rorshach Test. This was the best one so I decided to make it into a card. After stamping the butterfly I had to let it dry. Then I used a circle mask to leave a highlight around the butterfly when I stamped and airbrushed the background. I liked the concept of this card but I don't know if I really like how it turned out. It was fun trying different techniques and keeping it to one layer though.
Sometimes I have difficulty in putting a sentiment on a card, guess I solved that problem for this one!
In the end this was a messy time consuming process and I didn't like the result. I might try it again with a rubber stamp in the future. I did toy with the idea of going ahead and stamping the other two steps of the butterfly on top but didn't want to risk the one image I really liked after I had stamped this about a gazillion times (okay that might be a slight exaggeration). I'm sure I will try it again though probably not this year!
