This post will be a simple one. Both of these cards were made by using the negative image from the larger die in the Stampin' Up! set called Bold Butterfly Framelits. I simply cut the butterfly from a piece of scrap paper and then used the negative image as a type of mask or stencil. After watercoloring the negative image using my Stampin' Up inks and my Aqua Painter on watercolor paper, I filled in with a few random stamped images. The final touches are pretty self explanatory. I love the look and these really took no time at all to make. Please feel free to message me with any questions you may have.

The green and blue butterfly is so soft. Did you stamp off first? What a wonderful idea. It's so much fun to see a whole new way to use the framelits. Makes perfect sense. So, what is your new job?
ReplyDeleteThank you. The butterfly itself was just watercolored by using the negative space of the die as a stencil. It was not a stamped image. I am working at a very busy bar/grill for my son-in-law in Branson, Missouri. It is much less stressful than my prior job, which was causing me heath issues.
DeleteGorgeous cards! I am about to make a career change at 53 as well, so this should be interesting! Who says you can't teach old dogs new tricks, right?!
