This weeks SplitCoast Stampers Inspiration Challenge comes from Novica. My card was inspired by this amazing wooden mask called Peace in the Garden by artist Gung Gus.
I was inspired by the combination of the Buddha with flowers and butterflies, as well as the colors. I stamped the Buddha face from Artistic Outpost's Thai Buddha plate in India Ink on a piece of butterfly and floral designer paper. I also stamped the butterfly from AO's Happiness and sentiment from AO's Lovely Day.
I used this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch with scraps of paper from Basic Grey and K&Company, as well as a black cardstock mat. I finished with some of my favorite May Arts ribbon and a Velvet Butterfly colored with Memories Mist and Glimmer Mist. To get more intense color on the raised portions of the butterfly, I sprayed with the mists, then picked up the butterfly with tweezers and rubbed the raised areas in the extra puddles of spray in my spray box.
I hope you find inspiration.
How pretty! The butterflies look wonderful with your AO image!
