Hello everyone! Rosemary here and today I am here to say that I LOVE the Block Print butterflies! They are sooo cool. Today’s card features the amazing Block Print Radiant Butterfly. Let’s have a look.
Many times when I start making my card I don’t think about taking photos of my process. That is the case with this card. I’m always trying to come up with new ideas or mediums that I can use when creating my cards. With this card I decided to die cut the pieces of my butterfly from watercolor cardstock and then color them with watercolor pens.
I thought that this bold butterfy needed to be paired up with something equally as bold and so I went with the Wiegela Leaf Contour Layers die. That was also die cut from watercolor cardstock and the pieces colored with watercolor pens.
For the butterfly I went with a bright yellow and red combo. The watercolor pens I have are limited in colors so I achieved the variants by mixing colors. Wished I had taken photos, but I was so caught up in the process that I forgot. Once all the pieces were dry I assembled them using liquid adhesive.
With the bold butterfly and leaf cluster I thought a simple white background with just a touch a light blue inking was the best. After inking up the background I adhered the panel to a light gray cardstock base. I arranged my leaf cluster and butterfly, adhering both with liquid adhesive. The sentiment is from the Vintage Everyday Greetings stamp and die set. I stamped it in black and die cut it with the matching die. I did die cut several additional layers that I adhered to the sentiment to give it some depth. The sentiment was also adhered with liquid adhesive.
I just love the graphic look of the butterfly mixed with the more natural look of the leaf cluster. I hope you enjoyed today’s project. Thanks for stopping by and have a lovely day!
