Hello everyone!
It's time for a little reminder of our current challenge at Day of the Month Card Club. The theme is
Learn About Butterflies Day
People love watching colorful butterflies float from flower to flower. But from the tiniest blues to the largest swallowtails, how much do you really know about these insects?
Here are 10 butterfly facts you'll find fascinating!
After creating the background with Distress Oxide inks, I stamped the grass, branch, sun and flowers.
I used three of the insects from the "Les Nounounes" stamp set from Katzelkraft and slightly reshaped two of them.
The praying mantis is the most transformed. I cut off the bottom part of her body, set it a little higher, and also gave her hand-drawn wings. - You don't see them often, but mantises have wings! ...and as you can see, she wonders about them herself!
The top insect already had wings, but I wanted to give it bigger ones.
The third insect remained in its original form. I colored them all with alcohol markers. The quote is handwritten.
So that's the story of this card, I hope you like it!
DotMCC is also celebrating its 2nd birthday, and there's great stuff to be won.
...just hop over to the Challenge Blog --- you won't believe your eyes!
...and that's not all!!!
As a thank you on my part, I also have a little something for you!
Thank you very much for your support! You bring the blog to life and make it what it is!
I will raffle this prize at the end of the challenge among all those who left a comment! (main + reminder post)!
Good luck!!! 🍀🍀

Wow, die Karte ist großartig, als würde man im Gras liegen und sie beobachten. Besonders niedlich auch die grinsende Sonne im HG. Bises
RépondreSupprimerWie ueblich eine herrliche Karte! Ich liebe die Katzelkraft Insekten - und als Schmetterlinge machen sie sich hervorragend! (Lass mich raus aus der Preisverteilung, ich habe eh schon viel zu viel)

Oh, and thanks for the butterfly fun facts. Fascinating!!!
RépondreSupprimerOoooo I love your definition of "different". Very clever. Your card is fabulous. I can never get enough of those Katzelkraft images. Thanks so much for joining us at Time Out.
RépondreSupprimerThis just caught my eye in the Gallery and I just had to tell you how incredible it is!! The colours are so vibrant and I've never thought to stamp grass images over green blending...where have I been??? I would never have thought either that the insect images were not original. You've changed them seamlessly, as if they should have been like that in the first place. And your handwriting is perfection, thought it was a stamp too! I'm over the moon that you shared this with us at TIME OUT!
RépondreSupprimerYour card is truly artistic, great shading and colouring. Thanks for sharing with us at Colour Dare Challenge, I hope you can join us again soon!
RépondreSupprimerYour colouring is incredible! I just love your quirky characters! Hope you are keeping well and safe!

Kind regards
