In Flight

Good morning! 

I have had a wonderful morning playing with this stamp set from WPlus9 called Flora and Fauna. It has been awhile since I have used this set, so today was the day. 

I started my card by first doing a watercolour wash for my background, graduating the colour from light to dark"ish" and dried it with my heat gun to speed up the process, then I die cut the piece using the stitched rectangle die. I used my Misti for this as it is easy with the magnets holding down the paper.

Again in my Misti, I stamped the flower and 2 butterflies on my background and heat embossed with white embossing powder. I added colour to the images with my Zig brushes, then stamped the hummingbird on a separate lighter piece of watercolour paper, and painted that with the

Zig brushes. 

I matted my background piece with white cardstock and attached to my pale pink card base. Before adding the bird and sentiment I flicked some white acrylic paint on my card, using my stamps as masks to cover the painted images. I then fussy cut the hummingbird and arranged where I wanted it on my card, then again in my Misti I arranged where the sentiment would go, stamped, then heat embossed using the white embossing powder. I styled and added the hummingbird to my card on foam dots, and that finished my card for today.

Many thanks for visiting my blog ...
