Thank you so much for joining me for this Vibrant Rainbow Watercolour Brushstroke Gem A2 Card Tutorial, Let's jump right in.
I started by creating my mini slimline base and layers, for the base, I like to make mine 6 by 6 inches and scored at the 3-inch mark, I cut my black matte to 1/8th of an inch smaller than the base and the panel to be 1/4 of an inch smaller than the base. I used four colours of Distress Oxide ink on my panel in Spun Sugar, Kitsch Flaming, Worn Lipstick and Picked Raspberry, working between the colours until I was happy with how the blend looked. I splashed on some perfect pearls to add extra texture to the background.
I used my die-cutting machine and cut each butterfly out three times, once with a heavyweight vellum to act as the base, once out of iridescent vellum for the highlights and finally out of the same black cardstock I used on the bodies of the butterflies. After I adhered the layers of the butterflies together, I played with the layout until I was happy with how they looked. I adhered the layers down and then just the bodies of the butterflies so that they would be able to move on their own and add a little more interest to the card. For a final touch, I added the Satin Blanc Pearls around the butterflies and called this card done.
In side news, I opened my Etsy shop!! I have a discount code if anyone wants to order some of my Chunky Floral Alphabet stickers. The Code is THANKYOU10 I hope you will give my shop a look and let me know what you think of the stickers!!
