Tissue paper, watercolour and lots of butterflies

Right now, I'm feeling like a butterfly myself, popping in and out and in again with yet another card.


Some of you may recognise the butterfly cover plate die by Papertrey Ink that I used for my winning entry into April's CAS Mix Up challenge. It seemed only fitting that I used it again (but this time in its entirety) for this month's CAS Watercolour challenge, which is calling for butterflies and watercolouring and the CAS Mix Up challenge, which is calling for tissue paper, stamping plus one (I chose watercolouring and die cutting).

To create my colourful background, I used the technique from Loll's video tutorial by applying distress ink onto my craft mat, spraying with water and then putting my tissue paper on top. When my tissue paper was dry, I sandwiched it between my die cut butterfly panel and another white panel using Tombow mono multi glue before adhering this sandwich to my cardbase.
