Okay, I kinda love how the butterfly turned out--I stamped a splotch from Touches of Texture several times on a piece of white cardstock, then stamped the butterfly outline in black over it, and then cut it out. I could wish that I'd gotten the colors to overlap a bit more, but I still like the effect. What do you think?
Let's start off with this week's CAS(E) This Sketch:
I liked how Jen Mitchell on their design team used a script stamp for one of the layers, so that's why I wanted to use a background stamp on mine. I chose Sheet Music just because I liked it :) I inked it up with a sponge to make it a bit softer than if I inked it with the ink pad normal-normal.
Next up is the inspiration photo at Just Add Ink:
I took my colors straight from the photo: Flirty Flamingo, Pineapple Punch, Call Me Clover, and Lovely Lipstick, plus some Basic Black to ground all those bright colors a bit. And this image is what inspired me to do the stamped splotch coloring technique. I could have used the flower from Beautiful Day, but I just used it earlier this week so I went with the butterfly instead.
That's it for me today, peeps. Ryan and I will be heading to the gym so he can play in the nursery while I run two miles and do yoga. I think we both win with that plan. Cheers!

ReplyDeleteThis is so soft and pretty, Christy! I love how you’ve created your butterfly - the textures stamp makes the colouring so unique! And the sponged music image gives it a beautiful softness too. Thanks for sharing with us again at Just Add Ink this week.
ReplyDeleteI love the speckle pattern that using the texture stamp added Christy. You got a lovely transition of colour across your butterfly! Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink this week.
