I followed all the steps, downloaded my images, and coloured her using alcohol markers and a white gel pen.


The Stickles I used are not very visible in the photograph above, but this is a better view:




I coloured the white cs background to the image to match the dp.

Also used on my card are:

blue floral dp
sewn on butterfly sequins and beads
flat back pearls
organza ribbon bow
butterfly diecut using the dp which was recoloured and detailed using a white gel pen
