Instructions:

1. Create a square card from Comodore Blue cardstock.
2. Use Tuxedo Black Memento Ink to stamp the Steampunk Butterfly from the TS074 Cling Mounted Stamp Set  twice —  once onto a white panel and once onto repositionable sticker paper. 
3. Use Copic markers to color the butterfly on the image panel.
4. Fussy-cut the sticker paper version and place it over its counterpart on the image panel as a mask.
5. Brush or sponge Squeezed Lemonade Distress ink over the masked image onto the image panel. 
6. Place the image panel onto the STAY-tion.
7. Place the PS252 Stencil over the image panel so that the perimeter of the clock on the stencil is enclosing the masked butterfly. Secure with low tack tape and/or magnets.
8. Brush or sponge Spiced Marmalade Distress Ink over the stencil and the masked image onto the image panel.
9. Remove the masks and use Y Copic markers to color the openings on the left side of the butterfly. 
10. Trim the image panel to 5⅞" square and edge with the Spiced Marmalade Distress ink.
11. Use the Spiced Marmalade Distress ink and the PS080 Stencil  to add stenciled butterflies and dragonflies onto the corners of the panel. Use Copic markers to add details to the centers of the insects. 
12. Adhere the card front to the reserved 6" square blue card.
