Fill your Life With Colour by Amanda Southern

Hi Everyone
I have a one layer card for you today using another of the
recently released
Carabelle Studio stamps.
Carabelle Studio stamps.
Here’s what I did:-
I
started with a piece of mixed media card and stamped the large butterfly using
black Archival ink. I then stamped it again on a large post it note, cut out,
and used as a mask. Once the mask was in place I then stamped over it using the
circles and dots stamp and then removed the mask. Once my images were stamped I
started colouring. For the background I diluted down some grey Brusho Crystals
and painted on as a water colour paint.
I then
coloured the circles, again in watercolours. To make the butterfly stand out
from the page I added some shadow using a black Spectrum Noir coloured pencil
and blended it into the grey Brusho using a paper stump and blending solution.
I then
stamped just part of a sentiment from a PaperArtsy set as I wanted to replace
the word colour with die cuts instead of just stamping it on. I die cut the
letters using pieces of coloured card that matched the colours of my coloured
circles.
I then
matted it onto black card and then onto an 8” x 8” card blank.
Here’s What I Used:-
Post It Note
Carabelle Studio Stamps – Spread your Wings & Circle and Dots
Brusho Crystals – Grey
Coloured Card
Card Blank
Have a fab week and I’ll be back next Tuesday
