Citrus Butterfly Magnet

Continuing on my magnet making kick, I have made another butterfly magnet. This one meets two different challenges too:

Flutterby Wednesday - open so long as you use a fairy, butterfly or angel

PaperPlay - Summer Citrus Splash: greens, yellows and oranges

Unfortunately, I was a tad too late to enter the Flutterby one.  No matter, it still inspired a part of my creation!

I love the width of the butterfly on this stamp.  I also love how the red pops against the more muted yellow and the orange.  Hooray for colour challenges!  I am not normally drawn to citrus colours, so I am pleased with how this turned out.  On this design, I used a Stampin' Up word stamp on the bottom half and then sponged more ink over it to make it appear faded.  Then I used a darker ink to stamp the scroll.

You can see the original prototype for my butterfly magnet in an earlier post.  I actually made one in between these two designs which is already listed in my shops.

I already had two prototypes for this design as well, which are now on the fridges of my sisters (my sister and my sister-in-law!)  I quite enjoy these magnets!  I will probably come up with at least one more design.
