Hi there,
We are celebrating our 5th Birthday at CAS Mix Up this month. Bonnie is challenging us to do some Print making with Die Cuts using water and ink. I used this butterfly from Papertrey Ink with mixed results. My prints are very light and although I used dark coloured Markers the water washed them out a lot. For the inside I didn't use as much water and achieved better results. I did add the die cuts I used to make the prints on the inside. We Welcome Ros Crawford as our Guest Designer for March.
Thanks for your visit today, lovely to see you here.

Purple doesn't get enough attention in my eyes. You've remedied that beautifully on the soothing, lovely card. Those flower and butterfly prints literally dance off your card.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the light colored printed butterflies! The softness gives a feeling of movement and interest to go with the beautiful die cut! Love your layout too, my friend!
ReplyDeleteYour butterfly card is STUNNING, Sue! I love the softness of the prints on the front. It's just a perfect balance of colours so that the butterfly die-cut is darker and stands out. Great work!! Those little butterflies on the inside are SO SWEET! xx
