This weeks challenge for Cute Card Thursday is "Tweet & A Flutter" (birds and/or butterflies). I have had this lovely stamp on my shelf for a very long time and have never used it. This was the perfect opportunity.
Stamp: Garden Collage (SU!)
Paper: Chocolate Chip, K&Co
Ink:Staz-On, Distress Ink,
Accessories: Sewing machine, Flowers, MS Branch punch, white ribbon, Copics Airbrush System
The picture does not show it as well as real life, but I pre-colored my paper with very soft colors of distress ink. I used my ink pads on my craft sheet and sprayed with water. Then laid the paper in the wet ink in a few different directions to get a nice blend of ink. I then colored the flower and butterfly with more intense colors of distress ink. I actually colored my ribbon with the same craft sheet/ink/water method, then sprayed it with my Copics Airbrush System with E55 to give it more of a vintage feel.I also colored some of my flowers with my Copics Airbrush System.
I used the Friday Sketchers sketch as the foundation for my design.
Thanks so much for stopping by today. Check back Saturday for another Sugar Creek Hollow card.
