Antique linen & butterflies

Hi everyone, I need to make a few cards for friends going through some difficult times.

I thought these subdued colours would be ok.

I inked the tag with antique linen, weathered wood & frayed burlap distress inks.

I sprayed some water over it lightly just to blend the colours a bit more.

The butterflies are coloured with inktense pencils and gold finetec paint. I blended these with a water brush.

I'm linking up to a few challenges:

The Hero Club Blog tic tac toe challenge. I went with watercolour, tag and favourite colour (blue).

I hope the inktense pencils are ok as a watercolour medium.

Simon Says Stamp Wednesday  where the theme is anything goes.

Addicted to Stamps & More where it's also anything goes.

And Tag you're it where this is the gorgeous inspiration tag by Anja Curvers.

I was inspired by the browns and blue.

Supplies:

Hero Arts antique engravings butterfly stamp; versafine ink & clear ep; MFT tag die; inktense pencils; finetec gold paint; distress inks; leafy branch embossing folder; leather thong; sentiment sticker.

Thanks for visiting,
