I die cut Craft Stash Creative Craft High Centre Stepper dies from white card and the layers from a very old unknown patterned paper.  I also die cut a Creative Expressions Happy Birthday die and background using white and black card, and Crafters Companion butterfly dies from watercolour card.

I stamped the Craft Stash TEXT(tures) Butterfly Definition by Lou Collins on white watercolour card using Versafine Clair Nocturne ink.  I tore around the edges of the image then watercoloured the butterflies.  I left to dry then lightly inked the edges with Distress ink.  Once thoroughly dry I added a layer of Tonic Studios Glaze and watercoloured the die cut images.  

Once everything was thoroughly dry I put the card together and added Tonic Studios Nuvo Drops.  Back soon x

I die cut the pop up die card from 300 gsm card.  I stamped all over the background using one of my Clarity Crafts Stamp Club mixed media background stamp and Ranger Archival ink pad.  I used Clarity 7" Wheelie Branch Building stencil and Distress ink to create branches and leaves.  

I stamped the Bee Crafty Doodle Art Rainbow Bird and the Clarity Happy Birthday onto snippets of watercolour card using Versafine Clair.  I die cut the flowers and leaves from card snippets and coloured with watercolours.  The Tonic Studios butterflies were also die cut from card snippets & watercoloured.  My final finishing touch was the Tonic Studios Nuvo Drops.  It is very cute and very busy, I am not sure if I actually like it lol!  Back soon x
