My creative juices were a little slow with helping my figure out what I wanted to create this week. Eventually the idea of using the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set to create a slimline watercolour cards of sorts popped into my head. Some of my inkspiration also came from it being Pride month. And I thought a rainbow of butterflies would be fun. It ended up turning into a watercolour background with butterflies I coloured using Stampin Blends.
The card base is Basic Black. Then I used Bubble Bath, Fresh Freesia and Pool Party ink and a Water Painter to create a watercolour background. Once it dried, I added some speckles from the same stamp set using the same ink colours to do a sort of tone on tone stamping. I also added a sentiment from the Beautiful Butterflies stamp set using Tuxedo Black Memento ink.
For the butterflies, I stamped them all with Tuxedo Black Memento ink. Then I coloured them different colours to create a rainbow. I used Cherry Cobbler, Pumpkin Pie, Daffodil Delight, Shaded Spruce, Pool Party and Highland Heather. Next I die cut them with the coordinating die and popped them up with a few Stampin’ Dimensionals.
This card was fun to make and definitely fit my need to do some colouring this week! I hope you like the variation of a slimline watercolour card.
