I'm delighted to be a Guest Designer for Ellie and one of her challenge blogs which is I Spy. This challenge is I Spy ....Warm and Sunny Colours. I look through my projects and realise I do an awful lot of grunge and not much brights or pastels. So this was a challenge for me.
I started off my background my smooshing some Picked Raspberry Distress Ink from a mini cube onto my Tim Holtz platform. I then dipped my card into the ink and let it dry. I used two stamp sets here both from a lovely set by Sara Naumann for Paper Artsy ESN62 which has lovely butterflies and sentiments on it.
The first stamp was inked in stamped off Versafine Clair Morning Mist to give a soft gentle background. I then added a die cut in white on top to give the other two butterflies something to sit on. these butterflies are also from the same set and I cut them out and layered their wings a little to give them motion. These were coloured in using Prismacolor pencils from their Botanical Garden Set. I added some fine thread behind the butterflies and some glass droplets.
The sentiment has been stamped in Versafine Warm Breeze. I edged the piece in Tim Holtz Brushed Corduroy and mounted it on to a soft brown card stock.
I'm adding this into the following:
Stamping Sensations - Butterflies
Allsorts - B for Butterflies
As you like it - my favourite colouring medium at the moment are my new Prismacolours as I love the intense colours they give
Double D - Butterflies
