Well it is Wednesday and that means another awesome challenge for you over at Stampin' Royalty! This week we are having a Sketch Challenge and I am so excited to announce that we have added another crazy, talented, amazing stamper to the design team! Squeal- please be sure to give a shout to Brandi Wiggins and all of her fabulousness:) We would love to have you join us this week, so be sure to check out all the DT samples for some awesome inspiration.
Here's this week's sketch:
and here's my card:
In case you haven't noticed I am on a bit of a water colouring kick. ( thanks Di for all your help:) This stamp set was on my #1 must have list when I first saw the new Catalogue. And I am soooooooo loving the Spice Cake Designer Series Paper that will be available in the Holiday Mini Catalogue come Sept.1st. Seriously I think this is one of my all time favourites ever!
The butterflies from Kindness Matters are stamped on Watercolour Paper using Chocolate Chip Craft Ink then embossed with Clear Embossing Powder. Next I stamped over them using the En Francais Background stamp and Crumb Cake ink (I first stamped off on a scrap paper to create a lighter colour) Then using my Aqua Painter and several Classic Ink colours I watercoloured the butterflies then outlined them with my Sahara Sand Marker and blended. The edges were sponged with Pool Party and the piece was matted on Soft Suede. Everything else I think is pretty self explanatory:)
Supplies Used:
Stamps: Kindness Matters
Ink: Calypso Coral, Soft Suede, Pool Party, Daffodil Delight, Lucky Limeaide, Peach Parfait, Crumb Cake
Paper: Watercolour Paper, Spice Cake DSP, Soft Sude, Crumb Cake, Calypso Coral Textured, Very Vanilla
Accessories: Aqua Painter, Cutter Kit, Sponge, Dotted Ribbon Border Punch, Clear Embossing Powder, Heat Tool, Vintage Trinkets, Twill Tape, 1" Circle Punch, Small Oval Punch
Gorgeous! Love the butterflies. You rocked the sketch, girlie! xo B.
