Welcome to the Art Impressions new release of Bible Journaling watercolor stamps. I love this butterfly set, you can really do some really cool stamping with them. I wanted to keep this one simple so I created this card I am calling Butterfly Path.
Watercolor Details
First, I inked the large butterfly from the New Butterfly Set with N25 (body and antennae) and 569. I pulled the color from the lines, focusing on the darkest areas first. This would be between the wings. You can build up the color slowly to create some really cool shadows.
I added some additional color from my palette, I also added 925 which I layered on top of the Navy. Using some watered down 569 from my palette and brushed them in on the left side of the butterfly to create a subtle shadow.
To create the rectangles, I traced the inside of the stitched rectangle dies with an EK Success journaling pen, I moved it slightly and traced it again. I used the same watered down 569 and brushed it along the left side of the lines.
I placed it into the MISTI, I inked up the Show me your ways verse from the Stone Path Set and stamped it in the middle of the page. Lastly, I signed my work. I added some shimmer to the butterfly’s wings with my Wink of Stella.
Card Details
I cut the watercolor paper down to 4 x 5 1/4 and a mat from Gina K Designs In The Navy card stock and added it to a Neenah Solar White card base.
