Jumbo Curiosity: Butterfly

My daughter visited with her family and we had lots of time to craft together. This is my first card with the Jumbo Curiosity: Butterfly die by The Greetery.

After playing with the butterfly I figured out it works best to die cut and then ink blend using the stencil. I couldn't get it lined up the other way around.  I recently learned about Foundry Wax and thought it would look cool on the butterfly wings. I used the the end of a paint brush to apply the dots. I also splattered some of the gold onto the background but it is hard to see.

For the wood slice, I inked up the center part of the die with Early Espresso before die cutting so that the lines would show up better. After cutting I inked blended the outer ring with Vintage Photo DOX.
