When I stamped these flowers from the Hero Arts Watercolor Petalsfor the Simon Says Challenge in blue I decided to stamp them a couple more times as well. As you can see this time I stamped them in pink for a pink and black challenge. This time I used the Faber Castell-Big Brush Markers in Pink Madder Lake, Magenta, May Green and Chromium Green Opaque. I stamped first generation then misted with water for the second and third gen stamping. I used the Lifestyle Crafts Frame die in black cs to frame the image.
For the sentiment I used a butterfly stamp from the same stamp set coloured with the two pinks and Dark Sepia. This is a second gen stamping of the butterfly. I then Cut it out with a Lifestyle Crafts Labels Die and added Black Gelato around the edges and blended with a paintbrush. I aded more and bended with my finger. I decided I wanted things to sparkle so at this point I started adding my home made shimmer spray to things lol. You can see a tiny bit of shimmer in the pics. I added a border around the label in the same pink as the base of the card and used foam tape on both layers.
In this pic you can see how under the label is a piece of pink cs I stamped with the watercolour butterfly using lightly misted black gelato. I only put gelato on the stamp twice to go round the whole mat piece, I just lightly misted after each stamping. I also added black gelato around the whole card base. The sentiment from inkadinkado is stamped with archival.
In this pic you can see how the ribbon I chose has an off whitish pattern on it. I wanted to change it up so I grabbed my big brush markers in the same colours I stamped my flowers and coloured them. You need to colour a section, heat set it and go over it again til you get the colours you like.
I decided I wanted to give this card to my mum for her birthday next month. I bought her two tickets to see The Seekers in May and wanted to add them into the card. So I made a little pocket to tuck them in to. I stamped the butterfly again using my markers onto pink cs to add to the pocket and misted it. As I was stamping on the pink cs this time I used Dark Sepia as the butterfly body colour. On the opposite side I stamped a Fiskars sentiment in archival.
I really hope she likes the card even though it is very pink lol. Her fave colour is red but I do remember growing up with her having pink bed spreads and things so should be all good!
Happy Scrappin'
