Butterfly Wings Card for Penny Black June 2015 Challenge

 My butterfly wings card for the June 2015 Penny Black Wings Challenge (HERE) came together quite nicely with the K&Co. butterfly paper and Martha Stewart punches.  I was going to use a different Penny Black stamp (and not this one by Stampin' Up!), but had left it at my Mother's!  Bummer!  But the deadline was today and I went ahead with it.

 I curled the butterfly wings with my bone folder, a flower making technique that I've found to work great with making cut out images stand out.

 I colored the butterfly with markers and a watercolor wash.

 These punch sets are great!  I found the entire set for $6 at my local Tuesday Morning.  WOW!  I'm really enjoying them.  The package comes with measurements for creating a seamless edge, like I've done here.

Penny Black have been a favorite stamp company of mine for many years.  I particularly love their solid stamps and use them with markers and a fine mist to create a watercolor effect.  Thanks for visiting and wish me luck!  I would love to win some of their new designs.  :)
