Fusion Card Challenge - Butterfly

Hello friends! It's time again for another Fusion Card Challenge! I used both the sketch and was inspired by the butterfly and the multi-colored background. My background was my first attempt at using a salad spinner with alcohol inks. 

I first learned of this technique through Karen Dunbrook who is a master at creating unique backgrounds! Here is a short video on her blog that demonstrates the process. I definitely need more practice! I found my spinner at Big Lots for $10. Amazon's lowest price was $13 and I wasn't willing to pay quite that much just to sling around some ink - hahaha!

I used glittery washi tape to section off the panel according to the sketch layout. The butterfly is a sticker that has been in my stash for many years. I love the sentiment font and the layered dies that come with it - Handwritten Thanks - by The Stamp Market.

We'd love to have you play along with us at Fusion! Hope to see you in the gallery.                                                      ~Wanda
