Hi, it's unseasonably cold and windy outside today, perfect excuse to stay in my craft room!
I'm using up another of the butterflies I made a while ago, coloured with inktense pencils.
I blended some blues and a brown distress ink onto the tag and spritzed with water. I usually just leave the ink as is but I'm having fun with the water effects.
I'm linking up to the challenge at Allsorts where the theme is butterflies.
At Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge the theme is anything goes.
There's a choice of sketch challenge at The Hero Arts Blog.
I chose sketch #2
At A Blog Named Hero the theme is to create a project inspired by a Hero Arts artist.
I was inspired by Jennifer McGuire and her use of distress inks.
Materials used:
Hero Arts antique engraving stamp: Memory Box journey stamp; versafine ink, clear embossing powder; inktense pencils: distress inks; birds and swirls embossing folder; MFT label die, behind my tag.
Enjoy the rest of your weekend and thanks for visiting,
Cathy x

I've never used those pencils but you did a terrific job coloring. It looks like you sponged distress ink on your butterfly. So pretty.
