It was fun to break out some of the new products from this week’s release. I used my Kuretake Gansai Tambi watercolors to create this card.
I die cut the Wild Leaves and one of the Brilliant Butterflies from watercolor paper as well as a background panel. I used three different greens, mixing some together to watercolor the leaves, letting them dry between applications of the watercolor. For the background panel, I used a large brush to watercolor the whole piece in blue. The butterfly was last. I used some of the same blue as the background and added a violet to the edges of its wings.
Once the background piece was dry, I die cut it from the second largest of the new Cinced Frames, and layered it on a piece of black cardstock to create a narrow frame. I ended up using only the two largest of the Wild Leaves, layering them on the watercolored panel after stamping the sentiment in black from the Hello Butterfly stamp set (from an earlier release.) I used both glue and some dimensional tape to adhere the leaves to the background panel. Finally, I assembled the butterfly and added it to the card.
Here are the new products I used to create this card.
Thanks, as always, for stopping by.
