Hello peeps, hope you are well.
It's time for a new challenge at Polkadoodles - the theme for the next fortnight is 'Things with Wings'.
My Lavender Tea Collection stamps arrived last weekend so I was dying to have a play with them. I started by stamping 'butterfly wings' (i.e. one of the petal stamps) and some flower stems onto watercolour card.
I then 'coloured' them in with Pebeo drawing gum, wet the card thoroughly and painted on some Cobalt Blue brusho paint for the sky and Olive Green for the ground.
I added some Violet splodges where the flower heads would go then rubbed off the gum and coloured the butterfly in with sprinkles of Purple.
For the body of the butterfly I stamped the stamen twice onto a separate piece of paper and cut it out.
The sentiment was printed from the Lemonade Fizz CD Rom and cut up before scribbling an outline with a fineliner pen.
I would like to enter this in the following challenges:-
Crafting from the Heart #110 Anything Goes (Always)
Pile It On #107 - Garden Creatures
Craftin Desert Divas In The Garden
Dream Valley Challenges #130 - All Creatures Great and Small
Deep Ocean Challenge #128: Flowers everywhere
A Bit More Time to Craft #19 Anything Goes
Penny Black and More Anything Goes with Stamping
Live & Love Crafts Challenge #47 Blossoms &/or Butterflies
Quirky Crafts #5 April Showers bring Quirky May Flowers
Thanks for stopping by,
