I enjoyed doing that "watercolor smoosh" technique so much
that I did another card with it.
This time I smooshed the colors around the edges of where my paper would lay,
spritzed it and laid the paper on the ink.
I used bright colors but I love the soft look it gave.
I stamped the butterfly with VersaMark ink and embossed with Black EP,
colored it with Blendabilities, smacked it with VersaMark and clear embossed it.
Makes it look very silky IRL.
After fussy cutting, it was ready to pop in the center of the card front.
B IS FOR........
I have blue butterfly.
THINGS THAT FLY
A butterfly flies.
Looking forward to seeing butterflies again.
Thanks for the visit.
Enjoy!
