Welcome
I recently watched a video by Natasha Foote on masking and this card is one of the results.
The butterfly stamp I used was from Layers of Color, a now defunct firm but, I still love their beautiful images, of which I have a large selection.
The ink I used throughout is Memento Grape.
I stamped and embossed the first image, masked it then stamped upwards, masking each successive image to create the stack, but not embossing any of the subsequent stamping. I used the same technique to stamp the bottom part of the stack.
The sentiment from Our Daily Bread Designs, now Divinity designs, is another old stamp.
I did not emboss it, but did repeat stamp it to get a deep ink coverage
As I had some smudges on the original panel, I trimmed down one edge following the pattern of the wings.
I adhered that to a pale mauve card base that I had sponged ink around the edges of. I then placed some lace next to it, and covered the join with the dark purple card strip
The inside was finished with a corner stamped with the butterfly off the edge

I have not seen this technique before but oh my goodness, how effective is that. I love it. I doubt I could do anything quite so accurately as this is but I will be trying.
Maxine, this is a credit to you.
Blessings, Neet xx
