For you

Hello.

My card today uses the beautiful Flutter and floral dies and Sophisticated script stamps from Concorde and 9th.

I have seen in blog land people using brushes with distress inks  so I bought some cheap make up brushes just to see how or if it would work, and it did work :)

I knew I wanted an inky background for my card and I think by using the brushes with distress inks gives a good coverage and can go on lighter than when using a blending tool so perfect for those not wanting heavily saturated colour.

Of course you can add as  much or as little as you want.

Once I had added the ink to my water colour card, and flicked some water and gold glimmer mists for some extra detail. 

I then stamped the sentiment in black archival ink.

I die cut two of the butterflies and made sure to keep them whole.

Next I die cut another four butterflies from thick white card and adhered two to each other.

I placed them back in to the empty space on my panel and went about assembling the die cuts back into place.

The coloured butterflies  wee given a dusting of perfect pearls and added on to the white die cuts and then covered with glossy accents.

To finish I added some sequins and dots of gold stickles.

 

Thanks for looking.
