Card SKins

A fun new technique I am calling Card SKins, this is a card template from Silhouette Library, meant to be a gate card and I had an idea as I was looking at it, what if I cut the card out on transparency, used it as a stencil and then color the transparency with alcohol inks and attached it to the stenciled card. The butterfly on the cardstock was colored with Derwent "Inktense" pencils and blended with a water pen.  The added color to the transparency just gives it more depth.  I used a very low tack adhesive on the inside of the butterfly so it closed but after a while the wings pop out for even more depth, how much fun is that?

this is a side view of the card with the wings popped out.  The white portion on the right wing is a sun reflection.  So the transparency wraps around the top of the card from inside out.

Hope everyone is ready for a safe and happy weekend, hugs
