I used:
- 5" x 5" square white card blank, side opening
- piece of Core-dinations purple card, cut to 4.75" square and glued onto the card front
- piece of white card stock, cut to 4.5" square
- used stamps from Woodware's NBUS 'Mosaic Butterfly Round' set of stamps, the Misti and a Ranger 'Black Archival' ink pad to stamp the large butterfly mosaic stamp and a sentiment (the set comes with a choice of five sentiments) first of all
- then positioned a corner stamp from the same set of stamps and stamped all four corners, turning the square piece of card by 90 degrees each time - hooray for the Misti!
- coloured the image panel using my long-neglected Zig brush pens - straight onto the card so the colours are rather bright ☺
- glued the panel onto the layer of purple card - finished!
Another time using the Zigs, I really must have a play at diluting the colours and try to use them more 'artistically' with some blending. Need to watch some You Tube videos first - as well as allow more time!
This stamp set would be great to use on acetate as a clear window, coloured with Pro markers and set into a big circular aperture.
A very pretty look Di and the blue, purple, green and mustard colours all go beautifully. I'm sure your friend will love this. x
ReplyDeleteIt's a lovely birthday card.
ReplyDeleteI think my brain cell goes with your brain cell and then they get lost and even worse they forget where they were going and why. Sigh...............[Bunny]
Great stamp set and a lovely colourful card. I find the Zig pens tend to give mixed results depending on what card is being used - or maybe it is just me not being very adept with them!!
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous card Di - and your colouring works perfectly fine on this card! Don't put yourself down - you are an amazing woman.

This is so pretty Di, and I love the stained glass look of this design. The colors you chose are some of my favorites too, but I share your frustration at not having chosen colors that allow you to enter at the Butterfly spot! I've done that too many times to count.
ReplyDeleteIt's a gorgeous stamp and you've coloured it in such pretty colours, looks wonderful.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful card and coloring!
ReplyDeleteLove the card & love your coloring with the Zigs, Di! What a neat stamp that deserved to get out of the NBUS stack!
ReplyDeleteWell done using your NBUS, Di, and I love the beautiful colors you chose! This is a cool stained-glass image!! Hugs, Darnell
ReplyDeleteFabulous card, Di. Love the stamped images and the colours are really lovely. xx
ReplyDeleteLOL, I am sure your brain has a lot of stuff on at the moment, but thanks for the reminder to check Mrs. A's challenge themes. Have a few butterflies in play........ Lovely card Di. Hugz
