Butterflies in Flight

About two weeks ago, I posted this background and showed the steps I took using a stencil to lift the background color, forming the shapes of the butterflies. You can see that post here. From there, I started drawing in the butterflies with black microns. I added color with a fairly new product from Zig - Wink of Stella Fine Glitter Dust pens. I love them! They provide color, glitter, sparkle, and shimmer, and are transparent so you can still see the tangle lines through them. So much fun! I hope you enjoy my butterflies in flight!

  1. I love your sprinkling of Printemps throughout & the way you have created different kinds of 'eyes' for the butterflies' wings. This is going to cut up into some fascinating ATCs. I've heard of these Wink of Stella but not actually got any. I've been using Cruffle for baubles - some Christmas Cards that just had to be individually made - doing battle with die-cutting & glue…………

    1. This was fun, Paula, and I really love the wink of Stella's, I just wish they came in more than 16 colors :(

  2. Love your butterflies! Love what you always do with color. I try, but not as successfully. You should give a color class at Tangle U!

    1. Haha! That would be awesome - and I'd be scared to death! But it would be fun :)
