I started with some watercolor paper and Distress Oxide Inks. I smooshed the aper to create a background and stamped images and a sentiment on this background. I then die-cut the images and trimmed out the sentient, the latter of which was matted on a scrap of coordinating cardstock.
The images looked a little bland once die-cut, so I used the same Distress Oxide Inks to watercolor some of the detail in teh wings.
I then attached the images and sentiment to a pre-folded card base:
- Stamps: Altenew "Bejeweled"
- Dies: Altenew "Bejeweled"
- Inks: GinaK Amalgam "Jet Black"; Versamark; Distress Oxides "Faded Jeans", "Shaded Lilac" and "Dusty Concord"
- Embossing Powders: Ranger "black" (EP137392)
- Papers: Ranger Watercolor Cardstock (TDA53927); maroon card base; deep purple scrap
- Adhesives: ScorTape 1/8"; Gina "Connect" gut; Ranger foam adhesive "black" (IWT40507)
