Butterflies!!!

Hiya Friends!!

Butterflies!!! A big addict here!

If you follow my blog, you would know by now :)


  • Started to color as i love to link up for  #thedailymarker30day Day#13 coloring challenge of Kathyrac, atlast ended up making a card now :) 
  • Colors are inspired from DCAM's 1st color challenge graphic


  • Took Canson wc paper but shorter than A2 size.
  • Stamped Butterflies and sentiment from IBS -butterflies set using Black Archival ink.
  • Then, Wet few portions of the wcpaper and sprinkled the Brushos crystals, (Oh yeah!!! they are my new additions to my stash, bought during vacation, using it after almost 3 months)
  • At few places, sprtized water and enjoyed the way the color forms by bursting colors...Absolutely loved this!!!

  • Colored using Zig cleancolor brush markers and highlights done with Polychromos Faber castell pencils (That's also a new addition to my stash...)
  • Took blue grey Zig and drawn outline to get a hazy background around butterflies.
  • Then stenciled Finnabair Light paste+mustardseed Distress stain using TCW tiles stencil.
  • Then using Black archival, distressed the whole edge of the panel in a irregular fashion as i love to get a hazy corners.
  • Few clear droplets added as accents to finish off the card.
  • Its then mounted on the A2 size lemon yellow cardbase.
Hope you like it!!
