Another Kaleidoscope of Butterflies

No, you're not seeing things,

this is my second kaleidoscope of butterflies today.

Here is the first one,

you can read the full details HERE.

My 5 1/2" square card uses the delightful new Butterfly House 

digital stamp set from the Beccy's Place Store.  

I took the Ulysses pre-coloured digital stamp image panel I created earlier, flipped it horizontally, then added the same happy hello sentiment.  THEN I took it up a level and tried my hand using the technique Beccy shared HERE and used Copic C0 and C1 Cool Grey markers to add shadows around each butterfly, giving the illusion of dimension.

The shading is subtle, it might be easier to see the shadows

by clicking on the photo to view it in full screen.

I might have to take a brave pill and try this again with darker markers.

   

  I trimmed the image panel, matted with a 1/16" black panel, matted with a 3/16" Mermaid panel (much darker than the Capri used on the first card, both colours work perfectly with the colours in the butterfly wings) then added the panel to a 5 1/2" square top folding card base made from the same smooth white cardstock.

I have made two cards same-but-different using this Ulysses Butterfly image.

Here they are, side by side, 2nd card on the left, 1st card on the right.
