I took white card stock and then placed a medium circle stencil on the panel and then over that I took a cloud stencil and then added some clouds so that they remained within that circle area. Once I had my blue color applied for my sky I then stamped the butterflies and the sentiment onto the card. These butterflies are a two step process. I was not happy with the bodies and antennas of the butterflies being in yellow so I took an ultra fine black Bic marker and colored those areas in. I also added the sentiment with black ink.
I then took the die that came with the stamp set and cut out the largest butterfly. I also cut out three more using white card stock. Once I had this done I took a rectangle stitched die and cut the panel and then layered it onto some brown card stock. This was all placed onto a yellow card stock base.
Now the fun part....layering all the butterfly cutouts together using some glue. Once I had all the layers glued together I then added them to the open area on the panel so that the butterfly protruded from it. I think you can see how it does that.
I also took some white card stock which was also die cut with the stitched rectangle die and layered to brown and added that inside the card. I did not add a sentiment inside as I might just want to write a little message instead.

I'm completely unfamiliar with the eclipse technique, but I gather that something in your write up, whether about the background or the butterflies, explains it. I like both the background AND the butterflies, so to my eyes you did a great job!
Well done, Verna!!! Your background is beautiful, and I really like your butterfies!!! I love your take on the challenge, thank you so much for participating this week at the Mod Squad Challenge

Love those beautiful butterflies and your background is gorgeous!
Eclipse technique - my goodness - I learn something new every day! That card sound awfully time consuming, but the result is worth it! Came out fantastic! Love the dimension of the large butterfly - looks like he is taking off....
You captured the eclipse perfectly! Nice job with that sponged background and it's ability to showcase your butterflies!
Hi, Verna! I never thought of using an image to create the eclipse, instead of words! Fantastic idea, and such a sweet scene! hugs, de
This is a new and very interesting technique from Judy and I think that you rocked it. I predict a winner! Love the clouds and the butterflies.
I love how you sponged your clouds in the masked circle - so pretty!
Lovely cloudy background!
So pretty! I love how you did that cloud background...beautiful!
This turned out to be quite lovely with that technique! I love that beautiful blue sky you created too!
This is very pretty. I have never seen this technique done with a shape like this. I haven’t had a chance to try it. I hope I will soon! Have a good day!
You did an awesome job! I have never done this technique and have only seen it with words. Love that you used something other than words. I am close to getting ready to give it a try. Thanks for sharing your technique and explaining so well.
Your card is so pretty! I love the way you sponged the clouds in the circle shape. The butterflies are one of my favourite stamp sets.
Love how this turned out... another beautiful one!
Beautiful card Verna, love this technique
