Hello there. My heart continues to break 💔 for the people of Ukraine. How can a war be happening in this time and age right in front of our eyes!? Today, I keep supporting Ukraine with another symbolic card. After heat embossing the sentiment from Butterfly Blossoms by Reverse Confetti (RC) on my first card for Ukraine HERE, I couldn’t put off colouring up that beautiful floral butterfly in the set. Here’s my second card for Ukraine.
Stamped the butterfly image with Memento Tuxedo Black ink on a panel die cut from XPress It cardstock using Pinkfresh Studio Blanket Stitched Rectangle die, then coloured with Copic Sketch markers.
Blues - B28. BF2, B12, B04, B01, B0000
Yellows - YR27, YR24, Y08, Y02, Y000
Black - 100
White gel pen for doodling details.
I was about to create a mask for the butterfly to do some ink blending for the background, but then decided to channel the inspiring colourist Alberto (@loshakeratoalberto) and colour a faux watercolour bloom instead. Nowhere close to his masterful work, but at least I finally tried it. 😆
Next, Prize Ribbon distress ink and Catherine Pooler Something Borrowed ink were ombré ink blended onto a scrap of Bristol paper using blender brushes. For some sparkle, covered the piece with VersaMark ink and heat embossed with clear glitter embossing powder before diecutting the letters from it with new/unused RC Letter Cuts. Each letter was then die cut two more times from thick white paper to stack for dimension. Clear Jewels from Memory Box were added to the flower centres to finish.

The coloring is awesome and the design is so pretty. The word hope looks gorgeous in the ombre colors and covered in glitter.
This is so beautiful, Trina. I am so glad you added your own colored background. It adds so much! Love your great design.

Beautiful, Trina!
Wow, such amazing card Trina, love so much the butterfly! Beautiful colours and ombré sentiment!
Sadly humans are insane and prefer war to peace. They are not capable of finding reasonable solutions together for the good of all. There are a lot of wars just now in the world, not only in Ukraine, and a lot of wars there were in the last years. We humans are going to our own end because who decides is not able to see the suffering of the people or does not care. Power and money always decide the fate of people around the world. This is the true problem.
Hugs

What a beautiful butterfly, Trina! I love the watercolor flower she is perched on!
Another beautiful card supporting Ukraine! Your coloring and shading is amazing, Trina! Great job of the faux watercolor bloom too! The ombre glittery die-cut sentiment is just perfect for the gorgeous butterfly.
