Hello Friends, Happy weekend to you. 🙂 Looks like most of you saw the great giveaway from Mama Elephant yesterday. Such good stuff and thanks for weighing in on your favs.
Butterflies and flowers are my thing and what I love about WPlus9’s stamp set called, “Flora and Fauna 2” is that there are three butterflies in graduating sizes PLUS birds and flowers all in one stamp set. (this particular stamp set is larger than the average stamps set)
I wasn’t sure this was going to look good and I didn’t feel like coloring all of these butterflies but, I stuck with it for the long haul and I am pretty happy with the results . I used my trusty Misket to mask two of the butterflies and was going to spotlight just one of the butterflies.
Coloring the background in a different way was fun. I softened the line between the colors with B000 and by adding dots with “0” Colorless blender marker.
I used some neutral colors to color the other butterflies and added just a touch of color. See you tomorrow. Hugs, Kathy

Beautiful. Your coloring is so stunning.
One can never have too many butterfly and flower stamps! Love the way you added just a touch of color to the background butterflies. Stunning!
I’m glad you stuck it out, because I really like the outcome. Cannot wait to see how you turn this into a card, because that is something I’m often struggling with.
Have a wonderful weekend!

the butterflies are beautiful but i’m really loving the background – something i want to try very soon.
What a gorgeous background and the butterflies look so good against it. Such a beautiful card 🙂
That butterfly is beautiful. I love the colors you used on it, and on the background, too.

This is beautiful Kathy! It’s been so much fun seeing what you come up with every day. Thanks for sharing your creations with us.
What a great stamp set! The various sizes would be so useful.
Stunning..so gorgeous…never used Miskit..actually don’t know how to use it…
These butterflies are gorgeous!!
I would love to see how you blended the colors you used on the focus butterfly….
This 30 days coloring challenge has been so fun. Your coloring techniques are beautiful. I have been trying to color each day and I’ve loved it. Terrific. Do it again soon. Love the butterflies…so very pretty.
Absolutely gorgeous Kathy! I often don’t think to color my backgrounds with my copics, but this is a terrific idea. Thanks for the inspiration!
These are just beautiful butterflies & I love the background too!
You are so patient to color the whole thing! It turned out beautiful!
Beautiful card. The coloring is so masterful. Lovely. Michelle t
One of my favorite sayings from The Help. “You are smart you are beautiful you are Kind” And You are Creative….. Beautiful butterflies and I am going to try that background love it:)
Oh, wow, I love how you did your background, Kathy. See, I always learn something from you…… Gorgeous butterflies….. Thanks for sharing.
Love it.
This is so funny! I just spent some time in my craft room making a butterfly card that is very similar to this! I guess it is true that great minds think alike!
LOVE your background and the layering of the butterflies! I will be posting mine on IG after granddaughter goes home. See you tomorrow!
I love your butterflies!!!
To try the backgroundcolouring you have done a few dass ago, I got some handsanitizer alcohol…
With we could Chance the 30 day challenge into a 60 day one… 🙂
Just love those butterflies – card is awesome!
Gorgeous, love the butterflies and the colors are awesome.
Wow…these butterflies are so beautiful!! Love the colorless dots you created on the background!!
Just beautiful.
Oohh I looovvee this, Kathy! It came out so beautifully, glad you stuck with it.
So pretty and coloured so beautifully x
This is GORGEOUS Kathy!!! 😉
That is amazing. I just can’t stop looking at and analyzing and trying to figure out how you did the shadow on the butterflies. They look awesome!
Beautiful!
It’s a toss up to which is prettier, the butterflies or the background! Off to check out that stamp set, although that’s probably a really bad idea!!
Such fun!

What a beautiful stamp and how beautiful you colored them! Those markers are amazing! I did something kind of similar on a 1 card. I did all snowflakes and they were all the same stamp and the same color except for one, hence my 1 card. I’d like to try this with my butterfly stamp that I have, although I have to check how you did the background.
I’m trying to make up a saying that I think will be so cool and then if I really like it, I may have to copyright it. It goes something like this: “If everyone would color for 15 min. a day and then everyday increase it by 5 min., there would be no more wars or hate. Coloring is not just for children. Make time to color!”
Love how you colored those butterflies, Kathy. I’m going to try coloring a white butterfly die-cut tomorrow.
I really love how the background came together with the “0” spots!
Kathy, what BEAUTIFUL coloring and thanks for the copic colors you used, I appreciate that. I love the stamp and love the coloring on the background. Also never heard of “frisket” what a great item to have in your supplies, it’s out of stock now, but it went right on my wish list, like I have said a million times, thanks for the ton’s of things that I have learned from you.
Kathy this is over the top gorgeous. I love those butterflies with that background. Simply gorgeous!!
Those butterflies are beautiful.
Wasn’t familiar with the masking product. Good to know. Love the colors used.
Very pretty…love the background and the spotlighted butterfly.
Not sure if I commented on this or not but it is beautiful. Love the colors you used and the stamps are marvelous. Great job! TFS
I love butterflies and just got that same set. What a great idea.
