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
