Spring Butterflies

Over the weekend I found a bit of time to have a play with some different techniques and materials.And this is what I came up with.

First I painted kraft card with Gesso. I then used the butterfly stamp with Staz On ink so that I could watercolour the images with Distress Pens.  The text stamp was randomly used over the card as well as applying Bundled Sage ink through a stencil.  Finally to make the butterflies really stand out I used Glossy Accents on them.

Challenges I am entering:

Love is in the air

The most romantic day of the year? Not here in the South it is wet, windy and storm force gales predicted! So I will be enjoying a much needed day of crafting.

As it is Valentine's Day I thought I would share a card I made for my ETSY store using a bargain stamp I purchased in the sale after Christmas.

I stamped the image onto watercolour paper before colouring it with Distress Markers. The sentiment reads "Life is a breeze when love is in the Air"

I am entering this into the following challenges:

Crafters Cafe Challenge - Hearts
Make My Monday - Love
Rhedd and Rosie Challenge - love is in the air
