I hope this post turns into a little moment of calm for you though, because I think these cards are just so stunning! Jill Foster created her series of cards after being inspired from Stephanie's Stamping and Sharing Blog! I encourage you to check out both of these women's blogs to see more awesome works!
Here's some simple steps:
-Begin by stamping Penny Black 40-102 Dreamy using Faber-Castell Stamper's Big Brush Markers -Add darker shading to the flowers with very sharp Faber-Castell Art Grip Colored Pencils
-The background was inked with Old Paper and Brushed Corduroy Distress Ink
-Then she stamped Penny Black 2025M Music Note Background, removing some ink with a baby wipe before stamping
-The brown butterflies were stamped with VersaMagic chalk ink
-Adhere patterned paper to the back side of this stamped piece before folding down the corners
-Add on your favorite sentiment
-Punch some Classic Butterflies by Martha Stewart
