I have been trying my hand at water coloring. I watch videos of how other very talented card makers paint such detailed stamps with such simplicity. I thought, man, can a artistic leveled paint brush make that much of a difference? Take a look....
I stamped the butterfly several times using a masking tape mask with black ink. This card stock is actually ivory Stampin' Up! I love the warmth it gives the card. It isn't stark white like my solar white Neenah card stock. Then I simply painted each section of the butterflies with distress ink placing more emphasis on the edges than the centers. Last I stamped the sentiment with my MISTI. LOVE IT!
Challenges:
Paper: Ivory from SU!, various other from stock
Stamps: Butterfly - Penny Black, "Free Flight", Sentiment - Stampendous "Precious Gift" (retired)
Ink: Distress inks Picked Raspberry, Peacock Feathers, and a mix of both to create purple.
Gorgeous butterflies. Love the movement on the card. Thanks for playing along Simon Says Stamp Anything Goes Challenge. Gayatri xx
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty card... and great saying!
ReplyDeleteQuality brushes seem to work out perfectly! Great card.
ReplyDeleteYou did such a good job with your colouring and love your purple!! And I can see what you mean about the soft CS colour. I used white ALOT and it is a bit stark sometimes, so this is good to know. Thanks so much for joining us at ATSM!!
