It seems that I haven't colored an image from Northwoods Rubber Stamps in a while, so I chose this one for some good watercolor therapy! It's called Closed Wing Swallowtail on Sunflower . Now that's a mouthful, isn't it?
I stamped on watercolor paper using Onyx Black Versafine ink, then embossed with JudiKins Detail Clear embossing powder. The stamped image was colored using Tombow (water based) markers and a damp paint brush for blending.
I stamped once again on a scrap of watercolor paper just to get the butterfly. After coloring, I cut it out and popped it up with foam tape for dimension.
The edges of the main panel were aged using Vintage Photo Distress Ink applied with an Ink Sweeper .
The lattice punch is from Martha Stewart. The designer paper is from my stash. The cardstock is Classic Red Prismatics and Sunflower Prismatics dark.
Thanks so much for stopping by today! Don't forget to register for Tosha's Blog Candy if you haven't already. It's AWESOME!!!
