Butterfly in Flight

Second Post Today!  I am showing another card made with a background of Tissue Paper Watercolored with Distress Inks.  Again, I was inspired by the video by Loll Thompson.   This time I used assorted Distress inks for watercoloring  tissue paper that I glued to a white CS panel and then attached to a Yellow Card Base.  Then I stamped Repeat Impressions large Butterfly stamp on heavyweight white CS with Memento Tuxedo Black ink and colored with Copics.  I fussy cut the butterfly, shaped the wings, and attached it to the card.  I finished with a Repeat Impressions sentiment and drew in a line of dots.  My DH thinks this card has a lot of motion in the background.

Just Ducky Card

Hello! In keeping with my plan to use more of my unused supplies,  I am using NBUS Repeat Impressions Bottoms Up stamp with another RI Duck Stamp and a new Gina K sentiment from Scripty Sentiments.  I stamped the images with Memento Tuxedo Black and Cottage Ivy (Green head only) inks on White CS and the embossed with Clear EP.  The heat embossing was not really necessary but it gave a sharper image.   I then colored with Copics and a white pen. Did some doodling for waves.  Embossed some clouds with an EF just for the fun of it and then attached the image to a Spruce Green card base....picking up the color on the Mallard duck.  With this sentiment choice, I thought the card would be appropriate for someone moving or going on a trip or just achieving an accomplishment. Or whatever makes one happy!  This card made me happy!
