I used different shades of purple for these butterflies. To be honest I tried several different combinations to see which blended the best, this is why the butterflies are different colours. Still nto sure which I like best.
The top one consists of Rich Razzleberry, Blackberry Bliss and Elegant Eggplant. The Bottom butterfly is Wisteria Wonder, Perfect Plum and Blackberry Bliss. Each butterfly is trimmed with a row of 5 rhinestones that I coloured with alcohol markers to match.
Supplies used:
Cardstock: Recollections - white
Stamps: Watercolor Wings - SU, Watercolor Wash background - SU, Gorgeous Grunge - SU, Tin of Cards (sentiment) - SU
Ink: Rich Razzleberry, Blackberry Bliss, Elegant Eggplant, Wisteria Wonder, Perfect Plum, Delightful Dijon - SU, Tuxedo Black - Memento
Alcohol markers: Copic - RV34, V17

Thanks for stopping by! Hope to see you again soon.
Very lovely, I like the butterfly at the top the best.
ReplyDeleteI just got the Watercolor Wings stamp set! It arrived today. I like both butterflies. You say you color washed the background. It looks so dark. Did you have to go over it several times to get that color? Beautiful card-I am inspired!
ReplyDeleteKim, I didn't color wash the background, I used the new SU background stamp called "Watercolor Wash": http://www.stampinup.com/ECWeb/ProductDetails.aspx?productID=139538
