Hi, these are some of the butterflies I painted with twinkling H2O's on the weekend.
I'm linking up to the challenge at Just Add Ink where they have a colour challenge.
I don't have a lot of Stampin Up inks so I hope these colours are close enough.
I used a new die that I got a few months ago, just had to have it but hadn't even tried it out yet!
It's Lucienne Tile from Memory Box.
Darnell over at djkardcreations is celebrating her 600+ followers with an NBUS challenge.
To use some of your stash of never before used schtuff! So I'm linking up there too and will probably stay for a while as Darnell's blog is full of witty stories and lots of inspiring cards and techniques.
I'm also linking up to the challenge at Addicted to Stamps & More where the theme is to make your mark, using pencils, markers, chalks or paints on your project. I pained my butterflies with a few pots of twinkling H2O paint.
Materials used:
Memory Box cocoa bean stamp and lucienne tile die; twinkling H2Os; sentiment sticker.
Thanks for visiting,
