Hello friends! I have another fun day of play with stencils from A Colorful Life Designs to share - so happy to be their guest designer this month. Today I present one of their newest releases: Butterfly Flight! paired with their Groovy Flower Mask!
For their maiden flight, I used the mask as it was intended using my blending brushes and distress oxide inks. Then after drying, I went back in with a sparkly jelly roll pen to outline the butterflies - tough to see but I think you get the idea.
Sentiment from Altenew.
The perfect image for a full sized slimline card!
Don't they appear to be taking flight from my groovy garden?
BUT WAIT!!
Before you clean the ink off of that stencil, spritz it with a fine mist of water, and flip it over onto a piece of clean paper - Neenah Solar white 110# card again for me.
Sentiment and die from Altenew
While I still had the inks out, I treated another A2 piece to the reverse inking of the
Groovy Flower mask:
The sentiment and die comes from Altenew.
I used my micro pen to outline the butterflies in black, then cut a stitched
panel from the center after it had all dried.
Adding a few Marty Stewart punched butterflies brought a little more drama, don't you agree?
Let me tell you, it was really tough choosing which stencils to work with from all those offered at A Colorful Life Designs - they ALL are groovy from my view! I know you'll find the perfect match for your own personality!
Thanks for stopping by!

Love these! The last one really is striking...the black outlines and butterflies really stand out!
These are brilliant! I am doing lots of stenciling, but have not tried the flip animist technique on anything but a gel press. While never a fan of yellow, that last card is an absolute mind-changing stunner. You seriously rocked it, crafty one. Love visiting here for such eye-dropping inspiration!
Wow, Wow and Wowza! I mean ya gotta love anything with the word jelly roll
in it? And great stencil tip on number two! And the grand finale is fabulous with that drizzle of black! Wonderful cards!
Each one is as fabulous as the next! But that last one ~ WOWEE!
All 3 of these are BEAUTIFUL Michele!! You have definitely used these stencils to their max potential and given us all great inspiration on different ways to use them! I think my favorite is your last card...it is just SO dramatic...LOVE it!! I think A Colorful Life is going to want you around for longer than just a month...you are rocking their stencils my friend!! Hugs. :0)
Three creative cards and I love how you've used the stencils Michele x. Yes the pretty butterflies sure do look like they are soaring high from the beautiful groovy garden flowers x. I am enjoying learning different ways with the stencils Michele, thank you x.
What a gorgeous showcase of the butterflies stencil Michele. Your creative eye sees all kinds of things I would surely miss. I'm so glad you share your cards. Hugs!
What wonderful creations from these stencils. I love ACLD products and you are rocking them. I love the outlining - what a great technique. the combination of groovy and butterflies is wonderful and so are your color choices. What a wonderful opportunity for you.
What a fun butterfly garden, Michele! I love how you combined these stencils both ways! Your third card is amazing - a black tie event!
Wow, look at these cards Michele, they are all fabulous! First off, I am loving that butterfly stencil you used. The first card is so fun and yes, looks like butterflies bursting up from your groovy flower power garden. lol Love it and love the sentiment. You got such a great monoprint from your stencil and I can clearly see those butterflies bursting forth, but in a more subtle way. Love the sentiment and the label you die cut. Last card is just so cheerful. Love the yellow flower power flowers, the black outlined butterflies give such a drama look with the added MS butterflies-love, love, love all three very different looking cards! Hugs, Brenda
Beauties created here,Michele. Your stencil skills on fresh display. Beautiful.
I think I'm going to have to invest in some stencils. Your use of them is magnificent, Michele. Doing the reverse give a whole new look and gives you twofers which is always a good thing when you need more cards.
Groovy is the word I would use, as well as elegant. Love flutterbys in flight or just sitting still. Love the busy garden and it's negative sister and the last card with the added drama is exquisite.
Oh my...I thought your 1st two stenciled cards were scrumptious and then you shared your 3rd stenciled WOW card with the black accents!!! I loved how you traced your butterflies with black ink and added the die cut black butterflies...beautiful thinking of you card design, my friend. You have me Inspired Again! TFS...Love and Hugs...Nancy
Absolutely gorgeous x 3! The first and last cards are fun and pretty, and the second card reminds me how I never ever want to clean off a stencil without spritzing and "stamping" it first. Dreamy!
wonderful....love having you as our GD this month.

What great examples of how versatile stencils can be and how much you can get out of one inking. I have a stencil very similar to that (different make though) I think you might have inspired me to get it out xx
You've shown them off perfectly! You've made them work so well together!
Maybe the stencils are becoming a new fave.... ssssh, don't tell the embossing folders!
As much as I love that shade of blue I think my favorite is the yellow one. So very pretty!
