Butterfly Life

I enjoyed sitting over tea this morning painting this butterfly. I used my Misti Mini to do the initial stamping by colouring the edges and veins of the butterfly in Orange Marker and spritzing with water before stamping. I then cleaned the stamp and coloured the circles in the bright pink and spritzed with water before stamping. I took the panel out of my Misti and watercoloured with Zig brushes using a light pink wash for the lighter areas and then gradually adding deeper colours as I went down the butterfly. I then did the green wash and let everything dry. I then put it back in my Misti and stamped my sentiment. I put the card together with the matting and then added Wink of Stella to all the light areas of the butterfly. IRL it has a beautiful shine which is very hard to capture in a photograph unfortunately. I finished with my signature sequins. Thanks for having a look today.
