CAS Watercolour Butterfly Challenge

Time for the CAS Watercolour Butterfly Challenge!

  

Enjoy my CAS Watercoloured with Distress Oxide Inks,  Butterfly Card.

I wanted to try a rainbow color combo using my T.H. Distress Oxide Inks.  I cut 7, 3" x 3" squares of Strathmore Mixed Media paper.  Next smooshed six squares using only one DOX ink on each square of paper.  Then swiped one ink pad onto my Craft Mat, spritzed with water and then smooshed with the pre-cut paper until the entire piece was filled with the one color of ink.

I used these DOX inks: Worn Lipstick, Spiced Marmalade, Cracked Pistachio, Faded Jeans, Broken China and Wilted Violet.

After pieces dried I punched out my 6 butterflies using my SU Bitty Butterfly punch. Next I made one more smooshed piece using all six DOX inks to use for the Poppystamps "Scribble Thank You" die cut sentiment.

I die cut the SU Whisper White 3" x 4" rectangle using my Memory Box Stitched Rectangles Die.   Next I attached a piece of fun foam ($ store) on the rectangle.  Die Cut the Thank You using the smooshed with 6 DOX inks piece.  Added SU Fine Tip Glue Pen to foam, which showed under the die cut sentiment and then inlaid the Thank You (like a puzzle).  Weighted down with an acrylic block until glue dried.

Next I used my bone folder to form the butterflies,  added SU tiny pearls and 3M foam tape to the back of butterflies to attach to my main image.

The last step was to attach the popped up main image to my SU Thick Whisper White card base.  I really liked the rainbow Distress Oxide Ink colors and CAS watercolour design.
