It has been a while since I have participated in a Case Study challenge so yesterday I thought I would give it a go. The muse for September is Mariana Grigsby and her work is just awesome! You should go check out the site - there some fabulously talented people! This is what I have come up with:
I've been wanting to use this butterfly stamp for ages so this was the perfect opportunity to do so! I have also used the 'Every Moment' and 'Pocket Silhouettes' stamp sets to create the background image. The sentiment is from 'Inspired By Nature'.
I've stamped the images onto watercolour paper and coloured the images with inkpads and an aqua brush. The edges of the paper have been spritzed with the spritzing tool and markers.
Thanks for stopping by!
Gorgeous! Love the softness of the watercoloring and that fabulous vibrant bow! Super job with the inspiration, thanks for playing along with us at CASE Study!

Oh my goodness, this is a fabulous card! I *LOVE* how you combined the stamps so harmoniously, and how you created a distressed background! Thanks so much for playing with us :) xxx
