I made this card for Carrie, back in October, for her birthday.
I had forgotten that I had not shared it!
The background is a photograph I had taken while visiting the beautiful French market town of Piegut-Pluviers. I had never seen so many huge Hydrangea blooms & just had to lean over the wall to take a picture. I printed this picture onto a piece of canvas. The butterflies are stamped onto a scrap piece of the canvas & inked with Chipped Sapphire & Seedless Preserves (limited edition fall 2011) distress inks. The butterfly stamp is on the Friendship plate by ISC. I added silicone glue behind the wings so they would look as if they were in flight. It has become a favourite technique of mine lately as I love using butterflies in my work.Carrie is very much into tactile pieces, which is why I used the canvas.

gorgeous Paula. doesn't it work well on the canvas?
Your photo looks brilliant on the canvas and provides such a beautiful background for those pretty butterflies. What would we do without butterflies to use on our creations?
