I have rather greenish tips to the end of my fingers, after having a lovely play making this card. I die cut the memory box butterfly and inked it with some Twisted Citron Distress Ink, then after spritzing both the cardstock and the butterfly, I used one to make prints on the other. After I had finished, the butterfly was quite a deep shade, so I decided that the colour was a little too far removed from the backdrop to be used as an embellishment, so I cut another butterfly and und gently coloured that with more ink and water.
I used the sketch from Fab Friday
and the technique from CAS Mix Up
Where they are celebrating their 5th Birthday.
Our new kitchen is progressing apace, however there have been a couple of snags but the boss man says all will be sorted... and I have every faith in him, he installed our last kitchen over twenty years ago and that has been great.
Outside the Box - Beautiful backgrounds
I think that the background made with this gorgeous Memory Box Butterfly is rather beautiful!
Stay safe everyone!
Such a pretty way to decorate the square panel of the sketch! I love the homemade print and in such a fun color. It looks like the butterfly is in motion! Thanks for sharing at Fab Friday!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty - I love the "movement" you've achieved! Such a fresh and fun color - perfect for today, too, of course! Thanks so much for playing at Fab Friday!
ReplyDeleteYou did a fantastic job with the print-making technique, Chrissie! I love the butterfly and the colors you used ~ perfect for springtime! I'm glad the kitchen is coming along. I think it's cool that you are using the same guy 20 years later! I'm enjoying the photos on FB. Hugs, Darnell
