Hello again, Anne here! I just wanted to say a huge thank you
to everyone who called here last week, your comments are all very much appreciated.
This week, for my second project I used Lynnda's stunning triple butterfly and I used
the Colour Chemistry Inks to create sprayed backgrounds.
The finished card size is 7" x 7".
I started off by spraying some large pieces of card with French Wine and Citrus Lime
inks which I had placed into a spray bottle. I just gently sprayed as the colours are
very concentrated and a little goes a long way! I used an old pizza box as a
'spray booth' to avoid spraying the whole of my work area. I stamped one piece
with the beautiful 'Without Change' stamp, using a French Wine Colour
Chemistry Pigment Ink pad. I covered it with a clear embossing powder and heat
set it. I added a little Citrus Lime to a piece of felt and edged each of the
three coloured squares (I am not a fan of white edges!) and then layered
them on to the base mat,
You have probably guessed by now, but I love colouring up ribbon to match my projects
and I spritzed this piece with the gorgeous French Wine Ink in the spritzer bottle
I used earlier. I scrunched it up and heat dried it. You don't have to scrunch,
it is just my preferred method.
A close up of the finished ribbon and those lovely words. Lynnda's stamps work
perfectly every time...
I coloured some more card with a wash of the inks and stamped the gorgeous Triple Butterfly several times on each, in Slate Grey and then fussy cut the three sections individually and then layered them up to give lots of dimension. Yes, I did cut the antennae out too!

Fabulous project Anne. Lime and Wine would not be my first choice - maybe I should be more adventurous as they go so well together!! Love the 3d butterflies and the depth of colour in that ribbon too! Elaine xx

You have a real talent with spraying JUST RIGHT in all the right places, Annie! Your matching ribbons are that extra special touch that make your projects shine above others and those 3D fussy-cut butterflies are magnificent!! A beautiful creation in every way!! Hugs, Darnell
stunning colours anne ... and beautiful spraying. looks fab x
lovely combo of colours, not ones I would have put together but that is exactly why it is so great to see others put up their fab art works to show us how wonderfully they work together x The Butterflies are delightful too and I love the matching ribbons. I now only buy white or black or cream ribbon as I know I can always colour match perfectly to match a project with the great inks x x

Oh the beauty of this card.
Those colours are delicious and the background is perfect for the fluttering butterflies. The dyed crinkled seam binding is a lovely finishing touch.

I love this card - you've inspired me to try something similar this weekend - thank you for the step by step instructions
Gorgeous colour palette Anne, those ink sprays are beautiful. What a lovely sentiment and your layered butterflies look like they are about to fly right off of the page. I can't believe you cut out those antenna, well done! A wonderful card, thanks so much for sharing it. Deb xo
It's a fabulous card, Anne, with a very true sentiment that spoke to me, just what I needed. Have a wonderful weekend!
Love and hugs

So beautifully balanced Anne - this is a gorgeous card. Love your colours and perfect fussy cutting. Those butterflies are exquisite. Nicola x
This color combo is SOoo pretty together.. and this spray looks like a fab supply to have in your arsenal, as does the pretty butterfly. My hat's off to you for the fussy antennae cutting. You did a fantastic job of that, because the tiny pieces are so fragile. Of course the matching ribbon sets off this lovely card perfectly. WTGo. TFS & Hugs
This is gorgeous Anne and I personally just can't get enough of butterflies at the moment. Love this triple one. Take care and huge hugs Annie xx
