The Whiff of Joy Challenge #83 is a sketch by Bev Rochester. I have turned the sketch 90 degrees clockwise to suit my image &, wanting to make it look as if Melinda has been surprised by the butterfly whilst reading, I moved the central panel slightly to the left to allow space for the butterfly. The butterfly was made using a Cuttlebug cutting die & embossing folder set & then inking the raised edges. The embossed panel decorating the inside was similarly inked.Recipe
Stamp Whiff of Joy Melinda Reading Book.
Inks etc... Memento Tuxedo Black (image). Brilliance Lightning Black & Rocket Red were used for inking all cardstock edges, the latter also being used for sponging the butterfly & red embossed panel inside.
