Stencil Butterfly Cards

After seeing Hetty's beautiful card here, I was inspired to pull out my stencils, inks, sponging tools and blending brushes.

I liked how Hetty created a circle of intense color by making her own circle mask.  I gave that a try, putting my circle mask on top of my stencil. Then removed it and tried to add softer color outside the circle. I decided to sponge the edges of the card. 

I am using a cream cardstock from my stash that has a laid texture. Was surprised that it was easy to add color to it with a sponges and blending brushes. 

Stencil is from Gina K - Water Droplets.

Stamps are from Michael Strong - Mini Cloisonne Wings

Stencil is from a Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Mixed Media kit.

Stamps are from Inkadinkado - 96723 Garden Delight

Inks:

Stampin' Up! green galore, tempting turquoise, taken with teal, lavender lace,

Distress: worn lipstick (note...by mistake I used a sponge that had an orange ink on it, so the worn lipstick looks orange-y) twisted citron, mermaid lagoon

The stencil on the left came in a Ranger Tim Holtz Distress Mixed Media kit. I couldn't find the name of it. The stencil on the right is Gina K's Water Droplets stencil.
