Hi everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Seize the Birthday and Colleen has chosen a colour challenge, purple, blue and green.
You can always play along with our anything goes birthday option too, it's a great way to add to your stash of birthday cards!
My team mates and our party guest Karren have some wonderful inspiration for you, so I hope you can play along.
I used some metallic watercolour paints to colour some cardstock, then diecut the floral border and the new to me butterfly. I layered the flowers on a black diecut (was originally going to put this onto a black base but hubby liked the white one better lol!) I cut a vellum layer for the base of the butterfly.
Here's a closer look at the shimmery paints.

ReplyDeleteOops! I typed the wrong name in, Sorry Cathy!
ReplyDeleteThis card really caught my eye and I love the delicate look. I am wondering if the texture on the background is done by you, or if is the card stock?
ReplyDeleteThis is so beautiful and you inspired me to get out my metallics, which I rarely use. I love the shine you got and that flower die is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteLove the watercolor effect you created on the die cuts. Very cute CAS card!Thank you for playing with our CAS challenge this week.

This is SO beautiful, Cathy! I absolutely love how clean and neat the design is. The delicate die cuts, yes, but also the color scheme make it so much more delicate. I really am impressed by how well you've highlighted the colors on this card! Wow!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful idea to use the metallic paints with those delicate dies. It's absolutely lovely on the textured white papers. Love this.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely card, Cathy! I just purchased some metallic watercolors a couple of days ago. I will definitely be giving your technique a try! Thanks for playing along with use at Addicted to Stamps and More.
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Great to see you in the HLS gallery! Hope to see you again soon.
