Color layering - with butterflies

Happy Wednesday! I can't believe it's June already - and no signs of summer here! Rain rain rain. I hope it's better where ever you are! I made a sunny card for this month's new Hero Arts challenge to fight the rainblues, using the Color layering technique Shari Carroll showed in this video:



A close-up of the butterfly, that I quickly colored with the same distress inks I used for stamping:



For this card I used Ranger Distress inks Wild Honey, Dried Marigold, Spiced Marmalade and Mustard Seed. The butterfly is from this all-time favorite Hero Arts stamp set.

I hope you are all well! Thanks for visiting!

Hugs,
Vanessa
