Hello everyone. Thanks for stopping by. Today, I have a birthday card to share.
I created the smooshed background by picking up some sprayed inks using a piece of acetate and spreading it onto a panel of watercolour card.
I used a previously stamped and coloured butterfly (English Country Garden, Uniko) from my UFO box. If I remember correctly, I started with a smooshed panel to stamp the butterfly and then added detail using coloured pencils. Although I have the coordinating die, I decided to fussy cut the image because I did not want the white border to show on this card. To add more interest, I decided to go over the bottom part with a black marker and then embossed the entire butterfly using clear embossing powder. Below is a close-up, giving a better idea of the glossy finish. I stamped the sentiment (Sentiments Outlined, Uniko) and the antennae of the butterfly onto my panel before popping up the butterfly.
I'm linking up my card at:
