I should know by now that even though not everything I see (in the catalogue) appeals to me straight away I will eventually grow to love it! The Watercolour Wings set was one I looked at, pondered over but thought "nah I'm not going to like that!" But how could I be so silly!! Its a beautiful 2, even 3 step stamping set and its gorgeous! Its on page 75 of the Catalogue.
I'd like to thank my 5 year old son, Gabriel for choosing the colours for this card! Genuis! Thanks beautiful!
I'm loving this new Brick wall embossing folder too, so funky, I cut out a few bricks to make it a little more realistic and sponged a bit of Soft Suede ink over it. I didn't want to hide the 'brick wall'with another big rectangular piece so I added a long thin banner in watermelon wonder. I created a quick flag from the Cherry Cobbler Striped Ribbon which is lovely and vibrant. Lastly a new PUNCH has been added to my collection - the WASHI punch - I will be using this one lots I can see! Here is my card...
How I stamped the butterfly:
Base layer - Watermelon Wonder stamped off once
Wing Edges - Watermelon Wonder full colour strength
Centre Details & Dots - Cherry Cobbler full colour strength

I love all the vertical and horizontal elements on your card, Carolina - and Gabriel chose an AWESOME colour combo! Thanks for sharing your gorgeous card with us at Just Add Ink this week. :)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous vibrant butterfly Carolina, it really pops against your love patterns and layers...Lovely card! Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink.
ReplyDeleteCarolina these are fabulous colours! I think one of the funnest things about this set will be exploring what effect every new colour combination will create. The patterns and colours you've used add so much interest and really draw the eye around. Thanks for joining us at Just Add Ink this week.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card and beautiful colours, Carolina! That is an awesome colour combo for the butterfly. And I love that you have only used two colours when in fact it looks like 3! Love the dots in the back ground and the cut out portion of the embossed brick wall. Great card all round! Thanks for playing along this week at Just Add Ink. Rochelle xo
ReplyDeleteAwesome Carolina!! Love the idea with the Brick wall. So cool. Great color choice Gabriel. I knew you would eventually come around to love watercolor wings. :-)
