Bold Beautiful Butterflies

Have you seen the gorgeous new stamp sets released today at Crafter's Companion … have you seen more beautiful butterflies?  The bold lines make them perfect for coloring.

When I was trying to decide how to color my butterfly, I was inspired by this gorgeous Blue Morpho Butterfly from Peru.

I used my Spectrum Noir Markers (specifically BG4, BG6, BG8, IB1, IB2, GT1) to color my Butterfly from the True Color Set and a layout from this week's Sweet Sunday Sketch.  To get the same shimmer as the real butterfly, I painted on a coat of Sparkle Shimmer Spritz (I sprayed some on my craft sheet and applied with a paint brush).

I'm always thrilled when I can find Beatles references in stamp sets … love this sentiment from the same set.

I formed my wings and used glue dots to attach my butterfly with dimension.  I'm also joining the Beautiful Butterflies Challenge at Make My Monday.
