The Day of the Month Card Club wants butterflies for "Learn About Butterflies Day".
I made a quick smooshed background with various oxide inks and then stenciled a bit of texture over it with grey ink. I stamped, watercoloured, and fussy cut the butterfly, using the colours from the image on the challenge thread. I glued the butterfly body to the background and popped the wings up with foam tape. The background is mounted on the card base with fun foam.
