Mad For This Monarch ~ DD62 & JAI175

 

Oh, how I love the way this monarch butterfly turned out.  When I saw the challenge over at Dynamic Duos, which was Calypso Coral and Black with a butterfly dessert option, it screamed out to use this monarch image from Best of Butterflies.  I used the sketch from Just Add Ink 175.

 

The Calypso Coral DSP I used for the top background looks somewhat pink in the photo and looks so much better in real life.

 

For the tag, I cut out a Chalk Talk tag from some Festival of Prints DSP.  I added some swirls and butterflies with Soft Suede ink and then sponged the whole thing.  I traced the outside of the die onto black cardstock and hand cut it out for the back layer.  I like the effect it gave.
