A quick and easy card using butterflies stamp set from Sarah. I’m sharing the same in Sarah Hurley365 blog so come and visit, and say hello there too.
I randomly stamped the butterflies using different ink pads that coordinate. More summery colors don’t you think?
For the sentiment I heat embossed the Happy Birthday using white embossing powder.
And the pretty butterflies..
My sketch inspiration is from Sketch Saturday # 349.
I’m also entering this card to ShowCASe Your Style, Challenge # 9, Birthday theme.

Til then. Have a great weekend!

Happy Tuesday!
Today is a card share using embellishments that I have from Sarah‘s kit and random ones I get in the past in Sarah’s shop. I love putting items together from different kits, just nice to see how they complement even if it’s an individually sold item or from a kit pack.
I used mainly strips of patterned papers. I also stamped the leaves to have an additional color in the card then tucked it in the felt flower.
The two smaller flowers are glittered so I also added some shine in the gray flowers in the left using Wink of Stella clear glitter pen.

The art medium “Watercolors” are just so popular in card making right now. There are a number of supplies you can use to do a watercolor technique and some of them that I already have are watercolor pencils, distress inks and pigment inks.
When I started with card making, the watercolor pencils are the one I used often to color my images since they have variety of colors available. At the time, I don’t have alcohol markers and some few distress markers came only later in my supplies.
So for today, I’m glad I had the chance to try the watercolor look in my card project. there are a lot of great watercolor card inspirations that I see online and I must be trying out this technique before another technique madness comes 🙂
I initially used the Prang watercolors but later moved to use the distress inks (for today I settled for Peacock Feathers distress ink).
I tried the red too and other watercolor sheets just to play around.
I used watercolor paper and dip the paper to the wet distress ink to fill the background. I love the color of the Peacock feather so I continued to fill the background with more coats as it dry.
The stamps I used are from Sarah Hurley Butterflies stamp set.
For the butterflies, I fussy cut them after stamping, then run a wet brush all over the edges to create a watercolor too, that can also achieve using pigment inks.
I then stamps the rest of the butterflies and do the same watercoloring around it.
And my final output..
A closer look at those butterflies..
Note, the current challenge for this month at Sarah Hurley’s blog is Anything Goes. There’s still time to play so go ahead and try something out like water coloring.
