Well, the answer is pretty much different with almost every one I make, unless I make a small cluster of the same kind.
But tonight, I tried something different.
I bought a paper a while ago that had brown velvety butterflies all over it by Anna Griffin. It was a $2.00 paper, but I wanted it for the butterflies.
Tonight, I cut into it, cut one out, used my Quickie Glue Pen on it, and started using different types and colors of glitters on one section at a time where I'd purposely gone over and or around the pattern made on them. When I want to change the design something already has, I use the glue, and have learned also to manipulate the glitter into a sharper form after it has started to dry slightly.
Something that just takes time getting used to from using these mediums on a regular basis and an open mind.
I have favorite color combos and size combos and share combos when it come to glitter...and they sometimes work and not other times, depending on the shape and size of the butterfly., and what I'm trying to achieve I rarely like to make the same thing twice, unless sit is on purpose for a cluster, and then I still try to change the shape and sizes to add more depth dimension and interest to the page.
I always use quickie glue.
I've found the cheap large harder glitter not too cool to use on these.
But I love a very inexpensive type that is sold as sample packs, and the ones with a variance in sizes for certain areas on a good sized butterfly for instance Star Dust Glitter works great! Not to be confuse with Glamour Dust, which I always have on hand as well.
You just have to play with the glitters, learn to try different types next to each other. Key is making sure you apply the glue pen only to where you want a color of glitter, and make sure you've covered that area completely and wait a bit before proceeding, so you don't get your glitters mixed in a way that isn't cool looking.
I do mix some on purpose, but you learn which and how much and when where and why as you go along.
It is very easy to draw a butterfly, and then you can make copies of them in just the basic black ink, and add what you want later when you print them out. You can stretch them, widen them, and make them look very different all in your Works program.
Have FUN!
