Grateful Bunch Butterflies

Grateful butterflies 1

This is the first time I've inked up this stamp set. I won it in a prize drawing last April at Stampin' Up's OnStage event, and it's not a set I would normally use. I wanted to make some thank you cards for co-workers who'd given me gifts at Christmas. Looking through my sets, this greeting from Grateful Bunch really caught my eye. In the end, it really worked best with images from the same set (guess Stampin' Up! designers know what they're doing, huh?). At that point, this card came together pretty quickly. I looked in my craft room and saw that I still had a stash of the retired 3x6 envelopes and decided to make cards to fit in them. I used Basic Gray archival ink to stamp everything, and Soft Sky and Calypso Coral ink with blender pens to color the butterflies. I was pretty happy with the end result.
