Another card made with my own backing paper, left over from the card I made yesterday. Thought I would show you a piece before it all gets used up.
This is a real change of colours for me, using an orange base card and a torn piece of antique gold paper. I layered the patterned paper , adding three stamped, then embossed butterflies.
So Caz, if you read this I did find a butterfly stamp, but who's it is. I have no idea. The butterflies were coloured with cosmic shimmer watercolour paint the while still a bit damp I brushed them with a bit of mica powder. The shading is done with tea dye and wild honey distress inks.
The theme for this months challenges over at Make My Monday is Things with Wings.
All the details can be found here.
This week the challenge is to add butterflies or dragonflies to your project.
Also at Crafty Cardmakers the current challenge No 50 is Flutterbies, so I'm sure this fits the theme over there as well.
Thankyou for stopping by I realy appreciate your comments.
Beautiful! such rich colours:)
