Over at Less is More, there’s a new theme challenge for your clean and simple cards/makes – ‘butterflies’. Clean and simple means minimal layers, and lots of blank space, drawing attention to the stamping/colouring/sentiment. Here’s my one layer take on the theme, using watercolour pencils and a bit of distress ink over a mask to get the blue band across the middle:
Used in this butterflies-themed card
- Stampendous cling stamp: PenPattern Butterflies [CRS5071]
- Faber-Castell Albrecht Durer watercolour pencils
- Ranger / Tim Holtz Distress Ink – probably Mermaid Lagoon
- Craftwork Cards sentiment – now discontinued
- Ranger Archival Ink: Jet Black
Fabulous and certainly CAS but also Gorgeous
This is gorgeous, Neil. I love that butterfly, and you have colored it beautifully. I love the way it sits on that band of blue ink, and the way it fades toward the edges.
