Flora and Fauna2 Butterfly for Happy Little Stampers

There's a new challenge at 

Happy Little Stampers CAS Challenge.

I inked up the large butterfly from the Flora and Fauna 2 set with Archival Black ink

and stamped it on a snippet of  watercolor paper.

Then I pulled out my new (squeel) Zig Clean Brush Markers

and colored it up!

I found that these markers blend so easily.

I have the 12 pack set so my colors are limited.

I love the vibrant colors!

I cut a mask for the butterfly, placed it on the dry watercolor, 

and stamped with the French Script background stamp.

I used the MISTI for stamping on the watercolor paper.

I rarely get a good stamping on the first pass.

Check out the other DT cards.  They are AMAZING!

Then use a mask and join us at 

Happy Little Stampers CAS Challenge.

You have the whole month.

I'm also joining in again at

Simon Says Wednesday Challenge

ANYTHING GOES

Throwback Thursday#6 at Wplus9

This is still my oldest (and only) Wplus9 set.

Hoping to rectify that ASAP!
