Inkblot Butterflies
I was inspired by the new Just Lou Butterfly Collection from Studio Light to try a little ink blotting and was so happy with how it turned out! This inkblot effect is absolutely perfect for making butterfly wings, and I hope you give it a try!

The Cosmic Shimmer Airless Misters can be used for everything from stamping, stencilling, and simply misting onto your background, but I have to say, I had the MOST fun using them in this technique. They come in a wide variety of colours, and there is even a selection of Pearlescent Airless Misters that mist pigment and shimmering mica onto your project. They are quick and easy to use, and look beautiful every time!
