White gelpen.

Black waterproof inkpad.

Posca white for spletters or

White ink or paint for spletters.

I have to admit that it was actually a art journal page.

In the very last phase I made a big ink stain on the butterflies and the card was ruined.

I had put so much work into it and thought it was a shame to throw it away.

So I cut off the part with the stain and made a bookmark out of it.

In retrospect that was a good decision.

How to make it:

I started by stamping the girl Bubbles.

This stamp has two bubbles above her hands.

I left them off because I wanted her to grab the butterfly.

Stamp the girl on masking tape and mask her off.

Stamp the words and the 3 rings.

Let the text run a little through the rings.

Stamp only the black and white butterfly and mask it off.

Stamp the 3 butterfly's and overlap the cirkels a bit.

Start coloring the background, the cirkels and the little girl.

Stamp with black the black dots from the  brush strokes sheet.

Stamp the 3 butterflys on a thin piece off paper and color them.

Gleu them on the butterfly's and give them what accents with the white gellpen.

Cut off any excess butterflies.

Mask the girl again and spletter with the posca pen (or paint or ink).

Stamp the word "Dream" and give it some white accents.

Remove the masking tape.

Mat with a black cardstock and you ar done.

I hope you enjoyed it.
