Inlaid Butterfly
Playing along with a few challenges. Started with the Less Is More #270 - White space but not white and Addicted to CAS #85 - Inlaid Dies.
I created a watercoloured panel to place behind my butterfly aperture. I made it a long time ago, so not really sure of the colours, but believe I used Stampin' Up Inks (tempting turquoise, tangerine tango, daffodil delight and gumball green). :)
I need to start writing down what I use on the backs of my panels since I now have a huge stash to pull from when I'm ready to make a card. :)
I placed the butterfly back into the aperture, gluing the body down and pulling the wings forward. I hope that counts as inlaid.
Thanks for stopping by.

Beautiful card Loll, love this butterfly die. So delicate and the undercolours so pretty. Beautiful on black.
Wow...so sophisticated and beautiful Loll. Love your black background for your black die cut butterfly and glowing colors. Very creative my friend. TFS
Loll, that is so different for you - a black card base! Love the vibrant colours for the butterfly - it's very striking against the black!

Beautiful Loll!
This beautiful butterfly looks like stained glass! The black surrounding it really makes it pop! I've tried writing on the back but have forgotten to look in my excitement of finding the right background that I adhere it to the card before I note it. I'm hopeless!
Stunning...The background colours are gorgeous behind the butterfly. Yes I don't know about inlaid dies and should they be completely flat but I absolutely love this card and great to see CAS cards on black x
WOW...absolutely beautiful Loll!! Your butterfly's wings really do look like stained glass, and just love how it pops off the black! Lovely, lovely card!! :0)
Very elegant!It stands out like a tux in a room of blue jeans.

Fab and very classy as always Loll. :)
Beautiful Loll the butterfly with its beautiful colours against the black backdrop is stunning and the simply sentiment is the perfect fit.

What a gorgeous butterfly! The black really brings out the vibrant colors, it looks like stained glass!
I love this idea, Loll! It looks particularly beautiful on black, bringing out those gorgeous colors! Another "Loll" technique I'll have to try!
I say it counts. :). The butterfly looks really nice against the shimmery black.

You're going from one artistic success to yet another. This is just so very beautiful, and I love the glowing inlaid panel behind this gorgeous butterfly. The charcoal color allows the rich colors of the inlay to gleam just wonderfully well. TFS & Hugs.
