Social Butterfly Blues

Hello friends.  I'm so glad you stopped by!

There's still time to play at CAS Watercolour.

This month Karen is our host and she's chosen...

I pulled out a background piece that had been done with Brushos.

After placing this butterfly stamp in my Misti, I inked it up, spritzed with water

and stamped.  My waterbrush came in handy to move the ink around a bit

before I stamped again.

For a little added interest, I inked a floral stamp with an ink similar

to the background and stamped that a couple times without re-inking.

The butterfly looked too stark to me so I went over the body

with a chalk writer.  That's why the body is a bit lighter.

Unfortunately I was in need of a sympathy card so

I stamped a sympathy sentiment on a piece of the background

that I'd cut off.

Then because I wasn't ready to stop, I added some dots with

a white gel pen.

Sometimes I have to tell myself to quit!

I hope you'll check out the challenge and see what our fabulous Design Team

and our Guest Designer Birgit have done to inspire  you.

Then join us with your monochromatic CAS card at

CAS Watercolour.

Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!
