Hello crafty friends. I have a Valentine’s card to share with you today, but if you’re not into red hearts, don’t worry, the same technique could be used for a swirl of stars, or a rainbow of flowers. The sky is the limit.

I started by colouring my own watercolour paper. I used reinkers in Picked Raspberry and Worn Lipstick for this. I love the way the colours work together. I wet my watercolour, added drops of reinker ( Only about three drops of each – they’re intense!) and then swirled everything around with a wet paintbrush. I then dried the panel well.

Next, I used the Flurry of Butterflies die from Paper Rose Studio to cut as many butterflies as I could from the paper. I also cut a heart shape in white. I used the Scribble hearts die, but any heart die, or any shaped die would work here. I reserved a few of the bigger butterflies, and added butterflies all over the heart with glue. I glued some of the bigger butterflies on top as features, and kept a few to have flying over the card.

The background for the card was ink blended using Paper Rose’s Half Tone stencil, and some Worn Lipstick ink to match the butterflies. Finally, the sentiment comes from a pack called Black and White Sentiments, and as always I used a black marker to go around the edges of the sentiment to hide the white core of the card. That’s all for today’s card. I hope you are having a great week, whatever your weather.

Blessings,

Donna
