Opal painted butterfly.


Hi everyone, I'm trying out some new opal magic paints in violet green and coral teal.
They are much bolder colours than the others that I have and initially I was disappointed that they didn't look the same as the ones on this unicorn card.

Once I'd stamped this detailed butterfly on the painted background though I was happier, I think it needs the stronger colours, whew!

Still a bit of shimmer, here's a closer look.


I'm linking up to these challenges:

Perfectly CAS with a birthday theme.


Addicted to Stamps & More where it's a CAS theme.


AAA Cards where I'm playing without the geometric twist.


Watercooler Wednesday where it's all about occasions.


And a new to me challenge Sisterhood of Crafters where it's also a CAS theme.

Supplies:
Nellie Snellen butterfly stamp; Annabelle Stamps sentiment; versafineclair ink & clear ep; Art Alchemy opal magic paint; hammered card base.

Thanks for visiting,

A very pretty finished result Cathy. It is funny how close too the colours look entirely different to the distant view, obviously to do with the interference nature of the paints. x
