Hello and welcome to our Friends of Unity April Blog Hop. We are featuring a butterfly theme this month. My pickings were slim this month as I didn't realize how FEW butterfly stamps I had. I'm glad I found this one, as it was new in the package, so I must have seen something that inspired me when it first came out.
Clean and simple always seem to be what I am drawn too. This was quick one pulled together with some embossing resist, one of my favorite techniques! I just needed to decide on which oxide combination I would use for this. I saw someone share a blend of darker than this but it looked like sunset I recently saw and went with those colors.

ReplyDeleteI like how you added the text to the background. That really does make the ombre effect background, the butterfly and the sentiment stand out.
