Blue Butterfly Love

Quick post...This blue butterfly is for several challenges.

The Playdate Cafe Challenge-PDCC23 based on this picture

The StampTV sketch challenge-STVSCVD05

The Stampin' Sisters in Christ challenge-SSCC33 based on this scripture, chosen by Kathy Winters

John 3:16 "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life."

The challenge is to make a card/layout/project with the word LOVE on it, or something that symbolizes LOVE to you.

I used Gina K Designs Pure Luxury Card Stock "Ocean Mist", from the Spring Assortment. This picture does not do the color justice! The darker blue is Brilliant Blue from Stampin' Up, doesn't look very brilliant in this photo, does it? The butterfly and sentiment are from the GKD, Eclectic Summer StampTv Kit, currently available as separate sets.

I colored the butterfly with Koh-I-Noor, pure color pencils, Prismacolor watercolor pencils, Goo Gone, and a blending stump. Yep, Goo Gone works great, I think I like it better than Mona Lisa OMS! I added Icicle Stickles to parts of the wings.
