I am fighting a cold at the moment which means I don't feel like doing much but I have done a bit of colouring, stamping, watercolouring so decided to make some cards up today.
After making them all I thought it would be best just to post two cards and save the others as I think I have missed most of the challenges I wanted to butterfly into.
Just hold on a sec while I have a cough and empty the bucket I have secured under my nose for all the drips. Still got it even when I'm blah.
Okay lets get going.
Here we have three butterflies (Hero Art Digital) that I have merged in Photoshop with a bit of work as they are not png files for merging but jpg which means you literally have to rub out what you don't want to show on each layer then when finished merge. I then printed up on copic friendly paper and coloured with greens and yellows. A little bit of grey for shadow and a bit of glitter pen on the wings for shimmer. I did add some white dots but decided that I didn't like it so I went back over the dots with the copic markers.
I die cut the drawing with the rectangle stitched die then cut the gold spotted card with the same die so I could slop the coloured image straight into it.
Stamped 'you are my' in grey ink and attached the gold die cut 'sunshine'.
I am really happy with this card and how it turned out.
Next
I'm looking at this card and wondering if its out of focus, I think it might be blurry, hard to tell till I post and enlarge the image.
Okay these are again digital Hero Art stamps that I brought into the same page and just adjusted the size to make it look like they are getting smaller as they fly away.
Coloured with copics, added shadows and those dots again I toned them down by going back over them with the copic colours.
Cut the panel thinner and added some green patterned paper I had, Finished it off with a gold die cut 'with love'. So thats my rainbow of butterflies.
Okay lets see if theres any challenges for these babies.
For this one I would like to enter the three butterfly card
Again my first card that has the dotty background.
My second card with the rainbow of butterflies. Brand new challenge
so if you have time please check it out.
The first card with dotty background for this challenge thank you.
The second card with the rainbow of butterflies.
I was unable to see if digital images that have been coloured in by
myself are eligible or not as some challenges don't allow digital.
Please let me know if this doesn't fit your challenge and I will remove.
I have entered the second card with the rainbow of butterflies.
Okay thanks everyone for coming to visit and I hope you come again soon.

They're gorgeous! I still haven't worked out how to resize and layer digital stamps. I think I need to look up some You Tube videos and do a bit of blog searching. These are perfect. I adore the green and yellow ones, and love how your rainbow ones are in perspective. Lovely job! Xx
