Hi everyone, I was practicing gradient watercolour techniques on a tag and thought I'd try adding white pigment ink through a stencil.
The effects weren't really noticeable so I embossed the ink with lapis pearl powder. I still wasn't happy so thought I'd die cut the tag and came up with this butterfly.
Here's the tag with the butterfly popped back in!
I watercoloured a matching strip for the border die and punched flowers.
I'm linking up to these challenges:
Simon Says Stamp Monday has an ombre theme.
At Simon Says Stamp Wednesday it's anything goes.
Addicted to Stamp & More has a CAS theme.
Seize the Birthday has a toppings option of using a border diecut or punch.
I've used the Memory Box savannah border die.
At Cuttlebug Mania the theme is no squares.
Supplies:
Watercolour paper; Kuretake turquoise green paint;TH blossom layering stencil; versacolor white ink; lapis pearl ep; brown distress ink; Memory Box oriel butterfly and savannah border dies; Carl flower punch; stickles; Sizzix summer fun embossing folder; sentiment sticker.
Thanks for visiting,
