Here's a card we did in class last week.
We stamped the butterfly from the Penny Black Social Butterfly set
on mixed media paper and heat embossed.
Watercolor was added to the wings with an Aqua Painter dipped
in the lid of an ink pad.
They had a choice of blue or yellow.
The CAS Watercolour Challenge is open until the 24th.
I can join in at the Butterfly Challenge where
M is for..... Matching pair and/or the colour of orange peel.
Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.
Enjoy!

ReplyDeleteI just saw your cards on Pinterest. I love your cards with the PB stamp set. I have that set too - and I also have the "happy birthday" and "get well soon" stamps. I use them all the time!
