Mixed media card with embossed butterfly on yellow and white background. Text reads: "It's all perspective", with decorative pearls.

Hello Lovelies! Sometimes I have a plan when making and sometimes I just go where the stamps take me. The stamps and stencils from Stampers Anonymous' Curations release featuring Tim Holtz somehow inspire me to just celebrate the beautiful artwork! So I wanted the gorgeous butterfly from this Perspective set to be the focal point of my make.

Today's card uses four different media/techniques -stenciling, alcohol ink, stamping, and embossing. Each is isolated into its own layer, but harmonized by the monochromatic color scheme. For someone like me who is still building confidence with mixed media techniques, this allowed me to control each mixed media element and then bring them together as I wanted to.

Yellow card with a gold butterfly and abstract patterns. Text reads "It's all perspective." Warm, artistic background. — Perspective Butterfly Mixed Media Card
