The Sisterhood of Crafters Challenge - Come Fly With Me!



Come Fly With Me! is the challenge over at The Sisterhood of Crafters!  I LOVE butterflies!

For my card, I used a couple of techniques, first being the watercolor panel.  I used a background stamp inked with versamark and stamped it lightly onto the watercolor paper.  I sprinkled it with WOW! Clear Matt Dull embossing powder and heat embossed.  The powder doesn't give a raised, glossy effect, but rather a more subtle texture look.  I then wet my paper and did a watercolor wash using Koi Watercolors.  The embossed area popped out through the wash.  The second technique used is the inlaid die cut.  I used a butterfly die to cut out an area on the watercolored panel; I adhered the panel with the cutout onto a panel of marina mist cardstock.  I then cut the butterfly out again from a piece of designer paper and laid it into the cutout.  This gives a smooth diecut finish.  I embellished my card using a crocheted flower stem from iamroses.com.  The sentiment is from the MFP Stamp Shop Friends stamp set.

  4. Oh Vicki, I love this card. What a lot of detail and technique you added. The color wash over the embossing is so pretty. Then the inlay with the butterfly is so pretty. I love the little crochet flowers as well.
