Simple Butterflies

G'Day

I am enjoying creating CAS at the moment...here is another simple layout panel.

 

Just love my distress inks. Simply dabbed the ink pads (Distress Inks - forrest moss, crushed olive, walnut stain) onto a stencil (KaiserCraft - leaves)' spritzed with water and placed onto water colour paper. I then cut out stripes according to a sketch on STAMPlorations challenge and pasted onto white cardstock. I then used a cuttlebug embossing folder (small flowers) to emboss the whole panel for added dimension.

I also love butterflies at the moment, so I stamped three (STAMPlorations - artful flutters) onto watercolour paper and water coloured them in with distress inks (broken china, crushed olive), used mod podge gloss, blue glitter paint and blue jewels to give them some bling and stuck them onto the panel with wings up for dimension.

The sentiment also from artful flutters, stamped with broken china onto a label stamped in Archival - chocolate, cut out and used pop dots for a bit of lift.

I used markers to make a border and then stuck the whole panel on black textured paper to give it a frame and painted it with blue glitter paint.

Just something different is all.....I love how the colours work together in harmony, blue and green.

 

 

I would like to enter this panel into the following challenges :-

STAMPlorations - biweekly challenge sketch #14

STAMPlorations - Stamps and Borders

Addicted to Stamps and More! - photo inspiration (I choose a couple of colours, green and blue)

Crafting from the Heart - Always Anything Goes

Simon Says Stamp - Monday challenge Anything Goes

Stemelgarten - challenge #26 Floral Dreams

 

Thank you for stopping by and I love hearing from all of you :)

Regards and Have a Fantastic Day
