Watercolour Butterflies
Today's card features more butterflies...this time from the 'Butterfly Birthday' set by Happy Little Stampers. I stamped them using Versamark Ink off the edge of a piece of watercolour paper, then heat embossed them using white embossing powder. I stamped one of the sentiments from the same set in black, then heat embossed in in clear, before watercolouring loosely over the top of the butterflies using Distress Inks (Picked Raspberry, Wilted Violet & Mermaid Lagoon). I distressed the edges of the watercoloured panel, then added it to a kraft card blank.
Fab makes for the LIM challenge, I love the soft colourwash as well as your chosen hues
