A sweet, simple sketch from Jen Brum this week at Freshly Made Sketches, and it's just full of possibilities!
I just love it, here it is...
I chose a favorite stamp to use with this fun sketch, the butterfly from Waltzingmouse Stamps "Nordic Spring" by Claire Brennan.
I stamped the butterfly in Versamark on watercolor paper, then heat embossed it with white powder. Added some rainbow colors with some watercolors, and a bit of Wink of Stella glitter over the top.
The plaid stripe and stitched image are also from some WMS sets. I stamped the big plaid stripe with my Misti so I could stamp it multiple times with different shades of aqua ink. The sentiment is from WMS "Fine Feathers" set, also designed by Claire Brennan, which is now available at Gina K Designs.
The background is a stamp classic, Stampin Up's "Linen" wood mounted stamp! Another of my favorites of all time! The Nordic butterfly was stamped underneath in white ink, and heat embossed again. I wanted my cut out butterfly to look like it was taking flight in all of its colorful glory!
