Jane DT - Explosion Powder Butterfly Card

 Hello!

This week I have made a card using the Pretty Gets Gritty explosion powders...

1) I started by creating a spritzed background with the Olympia, Athena and Eros explosion powders onto watercolour cardstock...

2) Next I used a few strips from one of the Dina Wakley backgrounds collage sheets and added them to the background using matte collage medium...

3) To create a coloured texture paste I mixed together some of the Athena powder with grit paste and put it through the leafy branch d'inkable...

4) To highlight the leaves a bit more I added white pen around the edges and then for extra detail splattered some of the white across as well...

5) Then I created another piece of card using the Mermaid and Atlas explosion powders and stamped the Butterfly Beginnings stamp onto it.  I cut it out and used Elf and Aphrodite powders to colour some parts as well as adding black and white pen...

6) Finally I added the butterfly to the card front and used a sentiment from Everyday Sentiments 1...
