Stenciled Butterfly Focal

This card is based around the stenciled butterfly.  I started with a metal stencil and ran it through my Big Shot to emboss the stencil onto the yellow card stock.  I then use the stencil to protect part of the butterfly while chalking the colors onto the wings and body.  This is then matted onto a plain blue square.

The background is from a mat stack that coordinates well with the focal.  Yellow strips of paper form borders.  The stamping on the one reminds me of a ribbon.  A stamped greeting and bow made from 1/8" ribbon finishes off the card.
