Beautiful Butterfly Wishes Rubbernecker Stamps
[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Hey all! Happy Wednesday! Can you believe it?! I actually didn't use ANY Copic markers today! (GASP!) I used mostly die cuts and I did a little bit of watercoloring with Ken Oliver's Color Bursts!
I had to do this card though. There are some awesome new die cuts from Rubbernecker Stamps that I just had to use together. The idea just came to me and I jumped on it as fast as I could.
It was a lot of fun for me to do this card because we all know how much the Color Bursts and I get along... we don't... they hate me haha!! But using them like this for a nice background I can use them rather well, and it is fun!
The two colors I used are the Fuchsia and the Cadmium Scarlet. I didn't use very much of the Color Bursts but I did put a lot of water in the inkwell as they are very bright and bold colors, I wanted them muted and softer. The darker pink you see is the scarlet and the lighter of course is the fuchsia. You can tell I really muted them down.
I didn't wait for them to dry. If you wait for them to dry the paper tends to curl, so I used my heat tool to get the process going a little faster. After it was all finished being dried, I used the Frame with Curves and Piercing die cut from Rubbernecker to cut out the frame on the watercolor paper.
After I cut out the frame I also used the 2 Part Butterfly #2 die cut. I cut out the butterflies using just plain Whipped Cream cardstock for the outline of the butterfly and some vellum cardstock for the solid part of the butterfly. I wanted the vellum to look as if there was a shadow under the butterfly outline.
I put the butterflies on the vellum with 3D form. However, since I didn't want them up higher on the card from the vellum, I actually placed them on the card with glue dots.
The patterned paper that I used was really bright and bold. I decided that I wanted to mute that a little bit as well since I really wanted a nice soft card. I was able to do this by cutting out a bit of vellum for over the top of the patterned paper. It worked perfectly!
The flower sequins have a , well to me, big hole in the center so I didn't want to put those on with just glue dots. So I had another idea, since my pearls were also not small enough. Nuvo drops! That was the answer! not only did it look like a cute flower center but it also held the sequins on like glue, it was perfect!
Besides the sequins going on last, I also wanted to put this beautiful new Wishes die cut from Rubbernecker on the card. I cut it out of Stampin' Up! Pink Pirouette cardstock and put it on with liquid glue. I even used one of the flower sequins for the dot on top of the i.
I really hope you enjoyed my post today, because I really enjoyed this card and making this post :)
