Green vellum butterfly



Hi again, I'm using up one of the last watercolour panels I made a while ago with my Kuretake paints.
I guess I'll just have to make some more! I've used this Lucienne tile a few times to cover the painted panels as I love the almost stained glass effect it gives.

There is a new monthly challenge at Memory Box and the theme is butterflies.
A few years ago the first die I ever bought was the Memory Box cocoa bean butterfly, and the matching stamp. I'm just scraping in with my entry as it closes in a few hours!

I'm also linking up to the challenge at Simon Says Stamp Wednesday where the theme is anything goes,

Supplies:
Memory Box Darla & Vivienne butterfly dies and Lucienne Tile die; Kuretake gansai tambo paints; vellum; twinkling H2Os; sentiment sticker; gold shimmer paper; bling.

Thanks for visiting,

Love the green layered butterfly ... just pops off the white background. Another gorgeous watercoloured piece ... and you're right, it does look like a stained glass window with that beautiful die. xx

Beautiful, Cathy ... the watercolour panel with the white in front is gorgeous ... love how the pattern adds to the sense of movement of that stunning fluttery butterfly! Anita :)

Cathy, just saw your link over at another Kathy's, and was able to just zip over for a quick look at this marvelous green & white beauty. My, that background is stunning, and works so well behind this lovely die cut.The scant gold mat really sets off that fab green. (my Kuretaki-s are still a NBUS, but I did give the Zig w/c brushes a little trial run the other night). Love the way your tile emphasizes the card front to make a pretty perch for this gorgeous butterfly. TFS & Have a good week
