I'm starting a series tomorrow on my Blog about scraps... and the DSP and watercolour paper I used happened to be in my "scrap" pile. When I saw the tiny butterflies in the Patio Party DSP, I knew I wanted to pair it with the Papillon Potpourri stamp set. I also hadn't used my Aqua Painter in a while, and thought to give that a try also.
I pulled all my colours right from the DSP and after colouring sections on my watercolour paper, I stamped one of the butterfly images, full strength, in each colour. I cut the strip into a banner and then opted to use some Baker's Twine, a flower punch and a button to keep with the softness of the card.
I didn't want to add much more, but thought a few pierced holes in the bottom right corner were in order. :)
Now check out what the rest of the team has done to help inspire you and play along with us. We always look forward to seeing what you create!

I love the rainbow of butterflies! What a lovely card you've created!
ReplyDeleteHi Steph,
ReplyDeleteI like how you used this layout to design the card. What a great idea to combine that DSP with the Papillon stamp set.
Peace, Love & Joy,

Wow, I'm a week behind in visiting blogs... but the silver lining is that I got to scroll through all your "scraps" cards on my way here - How fun!
ReplyDeleteLove this card, Steph. What a cool technique. It's so tranquil, but playful with the DSP.
I love how you match the butterfly image up with the DSP and the colors really pop behind the butterflies.. Great use of the sketch.
