For this card, I created the background using Brusho paint crystals, by sprinkling two colours (purple and Terracotta) lightly onto some watercolour card, and spraying with some water. You only need a small amount of these paints to make a splash, literally just a few grains, and the water does the work!
I let it dry, then cut a panel to size for my card base. I stamped the circles and smaller butterflies using a Prima Finnabair stamp set called Don't Forget to Fly, and embossed with black powder. Then taking an off cut I stamped the large butterfly and sentiments again black embossing.
I added some glittery texture paste by Phill Martin using a Clarity Stamps stencil, called Jo's Bubbles, and left to dry.
While the paste dried, I mounted the sentiments onto some lilac card, and cut around in a random fashion, I have tried this before and I like the look.
After drying, I attached the butterfly and sentiments using some foam pads.
I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
