Shaped Butterfly Watercolor

Good morning!

Everyone loves butterflies and most everyone loves to

color.  These butterflies from Heartfelt Creations 

are perfect for the person who loves to color either 

with pencils, alcohol inks or water color.

Whatever your preferred method of coloring, these are wonderful!

I've chosen water color today, using the Clean Color Brush Markers.

Inside I've used the very colorful butterfly background paper from the Paper Collection.

Instructions:

Card size: 4 3/4 X 5 3/4".  Fold 10 X 6 white heavy cardstock to make 5 X 6 card then place the large outer die of the butterfly hanging over the fold about 1/4" (see video above for making shaped cards in the 5 X 7 Decorative Frame Dies Tutorial).  Die cut another full butterfly front then glue to card top. 

On a piece of water color paper, stamp the large butterfly using VersaMark or other clear embossing ink, emboss with white powder then die cut.  Use the Zig Clean Color markers to color the decorative sections.  When the paint is completely dry, glue it to the card front.

Stamp the tiny blossoms using VersaMark, emboss with white then die cut and form with a stylist from the back.  Create a pocket in the front center and fill with Prills.  Stamp the leave (the long vine) from French Cottage’scapes using a light green, die cut and form slightly from the back then cut the leaves apart as needed.  Form 2 small arrangements of flowers and leaves and glue them to the top left and bottom right of butterfly.

Cut another butterfly out of decorative paper for the inside of card, glue to card.  Stamp, using Magenta Hue, the sentiment, die cut then glue it to the inside center.

Finish by glittering the flowers and butterfly.

Thanks for visiting today!
