Even though our A Blog Named Hero's current May/June watercolour challenge is over and a new challenge begins tomorrow, I'm still playing with watercolors - it's Brushos this time.
I first sprinkled a piece of watercolor paper with blue and green Brushos - and then heavily spritzed with water. It turned out way darker than I like - so die cut with the HA butterfly which lightened it up a whole lot. Stenciled a background with HA rain dance using some light grey ink. Had the black die cut striped piece sitting on my desk and wondered what it would look like on a shaker??? Decided it would work - used HA ocean sequins. Added a little sentiment (stamped in black and clear embossed) - done and dusted.
Check out A Blog Named Hero tomorrow (15 June) for a new fun challenge with great prizes from Hero Arts. Thanks for visiting today and love to read your kind comments.

ReplyDeleteBeautiful butterfly, Betty! Just love how you made a shaker behind it!!

ReplyDeleteBeautiful butterfly card Betty.
ReplyDeleteWow--what a beautifully unique shaker, Betty! The Brushos background worked great for the butterfly die cut!
ReplyDeleteGreat solution to the problem of a dark panel...Brushos are like that, I think, but your butterfly turned out beautifully! Great idea to create a shaker for it, too :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous butterfly Betty. Die-cutting a dark piece always makes it better. You've picked the perfect die with the openness of the wings. And great work making the shaker. I am shaker challenged. I always end up with glue everywhere. :) Lovely design. xx
