Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
Time for another challenge at Krafty Chicks.
It's the 5th week of the month so this week it's Anything Goes.
Yep. Here's that Dreamy Butterfly again.
He does like to perch on a golden circle, it seems.
I'm Guest Designing again for Krafty Chicks.
It's been a fun month joining this fun team! They have been so gracious!
A big thanks to all the team.
Since it's the fifth week of the month, the challenge is Anything Goes.
When we were playing with vellum at CAS Mix Up a couple month's ago,
I ran across this video and knew I wanted to try the technique.
It was so easy and fun!
I used Copic markers to color on my vellum then dipped a brush (designated
for alcohol) in 91% isopropyl alcohol to get the colors moving.
This is actually the top side of the color and you can see where I used
some Deco Foil rubbed on the sticky edges.
You can see the gold foil bits better in the next photo.
I die cut my favorite butterfly from a piece of Brusho colored
watercolor paper in my background stash, die cut a gold circle and embossed a sentiment
to finish off my design.
I hope you'll join us this week at Krafty Chicks with your Anything Goes cards.
And do check out all the awesome cards the Design Team has
to inspire you!

That background is so interesting and sets off the butterfly beautifully.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous as always I like this technique and I seldom use it, gorgeous, love the vellum and your talent is so amazing friend, again thanks for being with us this month. Our pleasure! Have a great day, hugs, L :)
ReplyDeleteThat pretty sure does look happy sitting on the gold ring and WOW to the beautiful background and all enhanced with the gold foiling. Such a beauty Bonnie x.
ReplyDeleteI love those soft color and touches of gold. That butterfly is gorgeous and, of course, he loves the gold too. I have fallen in love with this way of adding AI to vellum, it gives the greatest results and your card is stunning.
ReplyDeleteI love the soft color you got with this technique, Bonnie, and the gold adds such an elegant touch. I have a paper pack with a similar look but I can't wait to get home and play with my alcohol inks and markers.
ReplyDeleteSO BEAUTIFUL! Love this, the colors are soft yet vibrant, the gold touches are perfect -- what a wonderful place for your butterfly.
ReplyDeleteAt first I though your background was blowing bubbles with Jack!
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty card Bonnie -- it seems like you KNOW every technique and HAVE craft item one would possibly need not to mention the different coloring supplies you have mastered!!!
I love following you!!

That looks so effective I think I must give that a try Bonnie..such pretty colours and finished beautifully with the super blue butterfly on its gold circle, gold on white sentiment and gold sparkle crystals. x
ReplyDeleteI adore your butterfly, Bonnie! He finds himself the most wonderful places to perch in your craft studio! LOVE the dreamy, ethereal vellum you inked - and all the gold on the sticky bits!
ReplyDelete=]
WOW! That background is STUNNING! I will have to give that a try! And, of course, I love that gorgeous butterfly!! Beautiful card! xx
ReplyDeleteI have been enjoying this Gorgeous Birthday card for several days IRL:-) I am now excited to read all the details for the beautiful layers and embellishments, Bonnie. I definitely want to try the beautiful creative background. I do not have Copics or SU Blending pens so I will try using small drops of Alcohol Ink and move the ink around with a water pen filled with rubbing alcohol. You always inspire me to try new techniques, my dear friend. I LOVE the beautiful die cut butterfly, foil circle, gold foil and crystal drops. The shine is stunning in the sunlight. Thank you again my dear sweet friend...your card is like receiving a gift that I can enjoy all year long. Love and Hugs...Nancy
ReplyDeleteI love the elegance the gold brings to this! What a beautiful card!
ReplyDeleteWow, I am so glad you shared how you made the background, it's gorgeous! Thank you for sharing all of your wonderful cards this month with us at Krafty Chicks.
ReplyDeleteHow elegant this is! I would never have thought to use copics on Vellum since I have not been best friends with it. But this is brilliant and has a such a soft, soothing effect. Genius idea and awesome results.
ReplyDeleteLove the results you got from the Copics on vellum! I must try that. Beautiful colours, great highlights of gold foil and co-ordinating gold circle, gorgeous butterfly.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely dreamy look Bonnie. So darned pretty. Love seeing your fun technique cards.
ReplyDeleteThat is a beautiful butterfly, and I'm intrigued by your AI background made with Copics. I could do that! Maybe. You're always going around inspiring people, Bonnie!
ReplyDeleteSuch an amazing card, a real work of art, Bonnie. Both the beautiful butterfly and all the golden details and this amazing, delicate background create a wonderful card. Thanks for the tips on how you made this card, Bonnie.

I don't think it could be more beautiful Bonnie... The gold looks terrific
ReplyDeleteWow, this is exquisite, Bonnie! I love the dreamy AI (Copic markers) vellum background! The shine from the foiling adds so much elegance and the subtle foiling puts all gold elements together. The Brusho butterfly is so beautiful and positioned in the perfect spot!
