This card was made for the Flutter By Wednesday challenge. The challenge this week was an open challenge - anything goes as long as the card included a butterfly, fairy, or angel. Well, just lookie at what image Paulette at Create with TLC, decided to so generously give away this week! As soon as I saw it, I thought FLUTTER BY!!!
How did I do it? Well, I first printed and heat set the image and sentiment. Next was coloring with my colored pencils and loms. After the coloring was completely done, I scored diagonal lines only up to and around the image parts, leaving the image flat. I went back over the score lines using the large end of my scoring tool to get very deep and wide lines. Note: I didn't try to make my lines even, preferring some a bit narrower, and some a bit wider... Next, I distressed with Tim Holtz Antique Linen Distress Ink, using the direct to paper method until it looked shabby and old. Last, I covered the entire image with Versamark and Clear UTEE, and heat embossed.
I will enter this card here:

Gorgeous card Patti! Beautiful colouring! I love the way you did the score lines and added the clear UTEE! Thanks for joining us on PaperPlay this week!
ReplyDeleteGood golly Miss Molly, what an outstanding card. I love how you scored the lines. The UTEE shows up so nice too.
ReplyDeleteOh my Patti. This is a glorious work of art. Such wonderful techniques really bring this butterfly to life.
ReplyDeleteI think a "play-day" is absolutely necessary!!! I want to do this!!! It is spectactular friend from the coloring to the scor-pal work. I can't image what you will do when you get your scor-buddy.
ReplyDeleteI love what you did with is card. Besides the beautifully colored image, the lines make it look like lattice. Such a nice idea and executed beautifully. Nicely done Patti, I LOVE IT!
