June's theme on the Dragonfly Dreams Challenge Blog is butterflies. I decided to pull out my never-inked Wings & Petal Ledger Stamp from Unity for this card. (The stamp happens to be on sale right now!). I wasn't sure what I wanted to create, so I stamped it on three different card fronts - one with brown ink, one with black ink and the third one I heat embossed on watercolor paper to be ready to faux watercolor with inks. In the end, I decided to pull out my Copics and color!
Blending pinks and oranges seems like such a pretty summery combination, so I got started coloring this beautiful stamp. I added some W2 around the butterflies to give them depth and blended some blue ink to seem like sky with some brown added to the edges to distress it. When it was finished, I die cut the panel with a large postage stamp die and mounted it on an salmon-orange cardback. The sentiment panel is foiled in black and glued to a vellum flag. Pinkfresh's raspberry jewels give it some extra bling. I hope you have the chance to play along with us this month! Thanks for stopping by my blog.
In kindness, Cathy
Beautiful card - your colouring looks amazing!
