Hello!
Sharing second card to CAS Mixup (Paper Towel) and CAS Watercolour (Butterflies). My card used the inky paper towel (1st offspring on the butterfly and 2nd offspring in the circle. The butterfly was inked with Versamark and heat embossed with clear/sparkle EP. To add definition/shadow to the butterfly, a black die cut of the butterfly was offset underneath the water colored one. Light grey gems were adhered to the spine of the butterfly.

CAS Watercolour - the butterfly and circle center are the results of sopping distress inks sprayed with water from a card panel.

Hello!
Another fun challenge is underway on the CAS Watercolour Card Challenge blog ... Colourful Butterflies. For my card the butterflies were die cut from the first offspring of my paper towel mixed media used for the challenge at CAS Mixup. A card panel was inked with two colors (Broken China and Peacock Feathers) Distress Oxide inks, liberally sprayed with water, and the rich colors/liquid sopped up with a folded paper towel. The richest colored paper towel offspring was used to die-cut the butterflies. Before the die cutting, the paper towel panel was inked with Versamark ink and heat embossed with clear/sparkly EP. To add interest part of the card panel was textured with a Gross Grain texture plate. A sentiment in the same colors at the butterflies was added. A yellow-colored gem was placed in the center of each butterfly.
Processes used - water color, paper towel, die-cutting, stamping, heat embossing, texturing

Hello!
A fun challenge at CAS Mixup ... use paper towel. Since I had no inky paper towels on hand, I made some by inking a card panel with two colors (Broken China and Peacock Feathers) of Distress Oxide ink, spraying liberally with water and sopping up the rich colors with a folded paper towel. This resulted in 4 paper towel offspring (the paper towel is 2-ply). The first one with the richest colors was used that was glued to a piece of card stock. Before die cutting the butterfly, the panel was inked with Versamark Ink and heat embossed with clear and sparkly EP. The paper towel and the heat embossing created an interesting texture that is very sparkly. A die cut was used to make the perforations. The sentiment was stamped and heat embossed following the lines of the perforations. The die cut butterfly was adhered using foam tape. The panel was adhered using foam tape to enable more definition to the perforations.
Enjoyed this mixed media challenge.
