Hello Butterfly Watercolor

Good morning Pretty Pink Posh friends! Heather dropping by with a couple cards and a tutorial for you after a long winter break! So excited to be back sharing tutorials and inspiration – and I really can’t wait for you to see the new spring release coming soon! And speaking of spring…despite the cold weather we seem to be having in the Pacific Northwest – I have definitely got spring on my mind, and decided to make a pair of cards to celebrate that!

I started off by stamping a couple of butterflies from the tiny but mighty set, Blissful Butterflies, in clear embossing ink on colored cardstock, heat embossing in white, then cutting with the coordinating Blissful Butterflies dies. I then used some tone on tone Copic markers to add a bit of depth and interest to the images.

 

I used those stamped images as an emboss resist by adding a bit of messy watercolor over the top and some ink splatters. The embossing “resists” the watercolors, so those areas stay white.

I then adhered the scallop frame on with thin strips of foam adhesive, added the butterflies, and embellished with a few coordinating sequins in Pansy Purple and Lime Sorbet. Finished off with a bit of jute twine tied in a bow around the card fronts.

Thanks so much for stopping by today! Hope you are having a wonderful day!!!
