Calee CT -Spring blooms and butterflies


Hi everyone ,this week for my step by step I have a special occasion card . Using the Spring Blooms catalyst collage papers 


My first step was to choose my paper, I settled on this one , mainly due to the colours and large clear flowers .


I then cut my paper to fit a  7x7 in card blank ,this gave a good border for adding a matted layer .


Using a Dinkable  from set 2  and some white texture paste I added three areas of stencilling and  3 more with the distress ink Villainous Potion 


Next using a white gel pen and pink Posca paint pen I  added a stitched border and stitched  detail to some of the flowers  . I also added some pink doodled hearts and dots to complete my back ground .

Three Doodle Art Butterflies were then stamped and coloured using Ecoline water colour pens ,with white highlights added with gel pen .


Choosing a contrasting coloured card for matting ,my card was constructed and another white stitched border added .


Using a sentiment from the Everyday Sentiments 1 stamp set, it was stamped and mounted on same card. Then it and my butterflies were glued on .

My go to for matting and layering is usual black card ,but I’m trying to use more colours for layering my cards and I think the teal colour really works with the combination of colours in this catalyst collage paper, I hope you agree.

Thank you for taking a look this week 
Happy crafting
