Artsy Butterfly Birthday Card

Hello and happy Tuesday!  Last night we got so much rain, and this morning I woke up to the cool air.  Yup, fall is literally in the air and I LOVE it all!  I find that the colors are different (and I don't just mean the changing of the leaves) and that there is even a distinct smell in the air that signifies the season's change.

But for today I am here to share a card for the latest Corrosive Challenge: Anything Goes.

I'm featuring Fred, She Said designs: Distressed Butterfly and Blossoms set.

I was going for "artsy" and something new with this image.  I literally pulled out my copic refills and started placing color, drop by drop, onto the image.  I tried to keep the colors somewhat contained, since I wanted my butterfly to be orange and yellow, but I didn't stress too much when colors ran together.

I read on a bottle of liquid pearls that you can use a paint brush to apply the product.  OK, let's give this a try!!  I painted only the butterfly, using a small paint brush.  Honestly, I was a bit disappointed because my colors were muted.  So I thought, I'll drop more copic ink!  And I believe it really saved the image AND you can still see the glimmer from the liquid pearls.

The sentiment is from a Stampin Up Paper Pumpkin kit, and I added a bit of sewing.  Different style for me, but I'm good with it.

That's it from me.  Thank you for stopping by.

This meets the following challenges:  A Bit More Time to Craft: Anything Goes,  Crafts Galore Encore: Anything Goes,  Happy Craft Challenge: Anything Goes w/optional Spring, and The Creative Crafters: Anything Goes.
