Back for a second post today- Yes, I was a busy crafter this weekend!
Can you believe that Mother's Day is right around the corner? I whipped up a card for my Mom so I could get it in the mail. It takes a few days to get to Florida.
I inked up my new April KOTM from Unity.
I was drawn to the large butterfly in the set and decided to use distress inks for water coloring them.
I did not want to take away from the butterflies, so I kept the layout simple, with a cs strip for the sentiment. Doilies add a bit of girly-ness to the card.
I used my MISTI to stamp my butterflies in the color of choice, and then once colored and dried, I stamped the image again in dark brown. I love how this turned out. The purples in the photo did not photograph well; the purple butterfly and the purple mat are much closer in color irl.
I am playing along in a few challenges~

ReplyDeleteThose butterflies are stunning, Lee Ann! I love the way you've coloured them using the distress inks. They just about "fly" off the card. Thanks so much for joining in with our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.

ReplyDeleteLee Ann you've created such a beautiful card. The watercolouring on the butterflies is stunning and the textures in the lace and zigzag are subtle but add such a nice feminine touch.
