Butterfly Burst of Color

Tried using my Brusho paints for the first time.  They are fun to work and play with. 

A card for a friend.  I wanted it to be eye-catching, but also elegant with vibrant colors.


The dies are Memory Box Small and Large Circle Bursts.  Their background is Brusho on watercolor paper.  The Bamboo is from Art Impressions, stamped in Archival Black, then heat embossed with Black Sparkle and Copper embossing powder.  The bare tree is a Penny Black stamp with VersaFine Onyx Black Ink. 

The butterfly is from Outlines Rubber stamps. It is stamped in VersaFine black and colored with Copics to match the Brusho.  I fussy cut it out before popping it up with dimensionals.

The  yellow background is sponged with Rnger's Distress inks Mustard Seed, Squeezed Lemonade and the new Fossilized Amber on the edges.

The Brusho background has a black line drawn around it with a Sharpie pen.  This was matted on Poppy Parade cardstock.  It is an A7 size card.

Have a great rest of the week.  It's the hottest day of the year so far here.  Hoping things cool off a bit.
