Sharpies!

Have you seen the current (for a few more hours) Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger challenge? If you like butterflies, or watercolours, or fashion, this one is hard to resist. 




I am still tickled by my discovery of Sharpies+rubbing alcohol+rice paper, and thought it would lend the right effect for this inspiration photo. 




Don't be surprised if you see more of this technique here in the next little while. ☺
Also, how can I resist adding this to Simon Says Stamp's current anything goes challenge? 


Supplies: white and purple cardstock, rice paper, Sharpies, rubbing alcohol, Martha Stewart butterfly punch, pop dot tape

    This is so lovely. As soon as I get a chance I am going to try your new technique. Your butterflies are very pretty.

    I really have to try this. I love your butterflies fluttering across the page and the touch of coloured matting.

    And I think you're catching me up on the SSS entries!
