Hello and happy Wednesday! Rosemary here and today I decided to share a card that is not a slimline design. I could have made this design using some of the slimline dies, but decided to go with a regular A2 sized design. This card features the beautiful Bold Butterfly stamp set.
I don't watch a lot of videos, but there are a couple of crafters out there who I do watch on a somewhat regular basis. One of those people is Jennifer McGuire. Recently I watched a video that she did on dot coloring. I was so intrigued by the idea that I decided to give it a try. I practiced the technique a little before creating my card. I need to work on the technique a little more, but I do like how things turned out. Originally I wasn't going to do the technique on the butterfly, but decided when I did some practicing that I liked how adding it to the butterfly looked. I used four shades of blue Copics for the butterfly and four shades of green Copics for outside the butterfly. I stamped the butterfly using VersaFine CLAIR Nocturne ink which was actually a mistake because I was not able to do part of the technique due to the fact that the VersaFine CLAIR line of inks are not Copic safe. I was just really careful as I made my dots around and inside the butterfly. Once I was done and satisfied I die cut the butterfly with the largest Stitched Dot rectangle die and then added a sentiment from the Bold Butterfly stamp set in the corner.
