Post away!

This is a super quick snow butterfly design I've done for years.

I used Paradise White, Paradise Light Blue & Paradise Lagoon Blue & triple loaded a sponge.


Press in a fan shape from the center of the eye making the butterfly wing. The white goes in the corner of the eye by the nose.
Normally I'd apply glitter after this step, but didn't for photography reasons.


Then using a #12 round & a #1 round do your lines, dots & snowflakes.


Using the #1 round put the snowflake center & antenna.
Glitter as needed(skipped this step for the photo).

That's lovely Linda.

Yes I agree it's lovely Linda - I can fully imagine it all sparkly!!

yeah, me too!...very nice!

i used metallic silver (inner eye) blended with sky blue (outer eye) to make the shape of the butterfly



Add black spider web type wings


finish by adding butterfly body and highlighting "web" and teardrops with white. Add lipstick if desire and glitter to webbing to create added sparkle. ( I didn't bother as I'm going to wash it off as soon as I've finished typing! lol )

Oh man! This is going to be an awesome challenge! Already loving it!

I hope there's not a limit because I'm going to do tons

This is my Mardi-Gras butterfly:

I used a sponge triple loaded w/ paradise lime green, amazon green & dark purple.
I used wolfe black for the line work & dfx gold for the tear drops. The center of the butterfly is dfx metallic green & dfx metallic purple.
I used a chisel brush & #2 round(this is a snaz brush).


Triple load the sponge & apply the base.


Use a chisel brush & lightly pull wolfe black paint in from the edge. Use the edge of the brush to do the inner lines of the butterfly.


Use #2 round for the dfx gold tear drops & dots.


Use #2 round to make the butterfly body & antenna using dfx metallic purple & dfx metallic green. Detail w/ gold.

Awesome!! I love it!!!

1st, lay a base of white and pale pink. Next, line the top with black to create your butterfly wing shape. Line the upper eyelid also.
Create your bottom wing shape and add more detail to the top wings, including thin lines, swirls and teardrops to the outside of the eye. Add dots in white on top of the black.



Finally, add a skull for the butterfly body, more dots wherever you think will look awesome and pale pink to the lips with a black outline. Ta-da!!
