CAS Butterflies.


Hi everyone, I've been making a few butterfly cards and thought I'd get one posted for a few challenges that are closing soon.

I stamped and clear embossed the butterflies, fussy cut them, then coloured with Inktense pencils, blending the colour out with a water brush.

At Less is More it's a colour theme. Tangerine, Aqua and white.


Happy Little Stampers CAS, use one third.


CAS Watercolour Card Challenge colourful butterlies.Hoping using a waterbrush and Inktense pencils is ok as the watercolouing.


Simon Says Stamp Monday where it's a bithday theme.

and Watercooler Wednesday where it's a feminine anything goes challenge.


Supplies:

Stampin Up Best of Butterflies stamp and the small one is an old stamp of my sister's, by Sonlight Impressions; versafine ink & clear ep; Inktense pencils; sharpie white paint pen; Annabelle Stamps sentiment stamp.

Thanks for visiting,
Cathy x

Those butterflies are gorgeous Cathy especially with the sweet little matching gems on their bodies, and the hammered texture card is the perfect backdrop for them, and a lovely large sentiment to finish. The colours of the Inktense pencils are so bright and pretty. Every time I see them for sale I want to rush in and buy them but am resisting for now...lol. x
