The card that I'm sharing today was made for Mrs. A's Butterfly Challenge # 53 - T is for Teal/Texture.
I used an Inspiration Crafts spritzer onto white card for the background and then rubbed over the white spaces with Distress ink. I rubbed texture paste through a mask and stamped the text into the spaces then used the same stamp onto the white linen card blank.
I couldn't believe my luck when I found a scrap of matching coloured paper just lying there on my desk.
I used a punch which leaves the image still attached for the butterfly then added the black card and sentiment to the bottom of the paper.
I matted the panel of paper onto white card and stuck the body of the butterfly down then finished by drawing antennae, adding a few pearls and dots of Dovecraft enamel paste and of cause some glitter to the wings..

Great texture effect on this card and how lucky you had some teal card to match the spray - just right for the challenge
Amazing! Love it! It´s a masterpiece.
Hugs, Lisa
Hi Barb these are gorgeous colours on this card and thanks for becoming a follower of my blog I tried to follow you but found I was already a follower so no clue how you haven't been showing up on my blog. I think blogger has it's own rules sometimes! lol huggles Sue xxx
This is one of my favourite colours but I have yet to manage a card for the challenge. Yours is great. Lovely inky background and pretty butterfly. I like the black lacy punch too.

I love the black with the teal. The contrast is so striking. I like how you have carried the script stamping onto the white of the background. I have a flower punch that cuts the pattern halfway but have never been able to get good results from it. Not a cheap brand either. Thankyou for fluttering by my challenge where your card will be entered twice. Hugs Mrs A.
Love the design of your card Barb and great colour combo

Wonderful colour theme here Barb, I love the butterfly and your fantastic background, a very beautiful card, Kate x
Barb, we must be channeling each other with the paste! Love the harlequin design you've stenciled through...very abstract with the script stamping, and looks so vintage as well. One gorgeous teal butterfly, and the lifted wings adds so much dimension. Looks like a lovely entry into Mrs. A's challenge (which I'm trying to find time to make something before it closes!) TFS & Hugs
Really liking this card, the colour works so well. Love it. Have a great weekend, Angela x

Oooh Barb my favourite colour combo and butterflies, the perfect card in my eyes. I love all the different layers to this.
And yes, I did spend far too much at the show, it would have been rude not too. Now what project to start first?! (Don't tell the hubby!)
Hugs Erika.
There's certainly plenty of texture on this fab card and I love the beautiful shade of teal with the white and black, gorgeous.

Beautiful card Barb! Don't you just love it when things come together so well?......finding matching paper...to ink... is sometimes the hardest challenge.
Ooh this is stunning! Gorgeous colours and texture and I love the text stamp following on the card base too. xxx

Thanks for entering the Butterfly challenge this time, Kim guest DT x
That shiny teal colour is wonderful Barb and the butterfly goes beautifully and love the texture paste and the script which works fantastically in the background. Altogether a great card. x
