Butterfly Birthday JAI # 311

The weather continues to be mild for May - we've had the odd storm this week but temperatures are still around 20 degrees and we are looking forward to another sunny weekend.

And it's time for a new challenge at Just Add Ink. This week Nikki has suggested we "Just Add...Masking." It's such a fun technique and so often helps us create a scene and add a little more or maybe use less of a detail. Our fabulous Team have created a beautiful array of examples to inspire you so I hope you can pop on over and take a look.

Can you see my masking element? Yes, I used the inside space of one of the Circle Framelits over the Happy Patterns Stencils. This limited the amount of colour applied to the background and gives it its shape. Sadly both these stencils and this pretty butterfly are both retiring in a few weeks so best to get in quick if you'd still like to get them. I've used this set a fair bit this year and it's one I will really miss but I know that means there will be other lovely toys to use soon too :-)
