Hello everyone! I'm sharing another fabulous design from
To begin I chose my background paper. This was another sheet from
Flutter-by Butterflies by The Paper Boutique.
I printed the image onto putty colored card stock from my stash.
It went well with the lighter images in the paper. The butterfly design
in the paper was grey with a blue tint. I then cut it with a 3 3/4" circle die.
I first colored the image with PrismaColor colored pencils. I colored
the flowers in Slate Grey #936, the leaves and stems in Jade Green #1021
and the vase in Grey Green Light #289. Then I used Gambol to blend
the color. I didn't do any shading. I really didn't like how it was looking. Because
I printed it on card stock there was some texture and I couldn't get the color
laid down as evenly as I wanted. So, I glazed the flowers and the leaves with
Copic markers: C-1 on the flowers and BG93 on the leaves.
I thought the glazing with the markers worked well here as Copics are transparent so
you could still see that I colored the image with colored pencil. I had printed the
sentiment out as well and cut it out to 3/4" x 1 3/4". I adhered both the flower image
and the sentiment flat to my card and cut off about 1/4" off the right side of the
die cut circle. I added some silver peel-offs from Love From Lizi on the
sentiment strip and then added a few enamel dots and this was done.
I really love the almost monochrome effect this card has. I don't always find this
an easy way to go because I love color. And although there is quite a bit going on
in this card, it has a very neutral calming vibe to it.
