The background is sort of watercolored on the glossy paper--I smeared some Crushed Curry ink on a plastic placemat, then sprayed water on it to water it down and smooshed the paper in it. I dried it with my heat tool and that's how I got the drippy look. I stamped the greeting on there and WHOOPS it was still wet when I tried to get a little bit of fuzz off the card front--it smeared. And now you know why that little butterfly is right there touching the sentiment ;)
Anyway, I used the Color Throwdown colors:
I used Crushed Curry, Pumpkin Pie, and Real Red for my colors. I also used this week's Freshly Made Sketch:
And my card fits the theme at Global Design Project as well:
Glad I took the opportunity to play with the new Butterfly Gala stamp set; I haven't even scratched the surface of what I could make with those stamps, I need to play a lot more. Lately I've been obsessed with a cross stitch project before we go on our Disney cruise (Disney Princess bookmarks!), so when we get back from that, I'll definitely be spending more time in the ol' craft cave. In the meantime, cheers peeps!
