Simon Says: Bright and Cheerful
Visions of summer treats and rainbows! Yay!!
This month's challenge photo is tantalizing but alas,
I have no popsicle stamps or dies!
No problem, butterflies to the rescue!
With Distress Oxide inks I blended bright stripes on water color paper and sprinkled water to add interesting spots. Next I repeatedly cut PTI's Butterfly Hope die rotating the die for each butterfly to catch the colors. Butterflies naturally rest on plants in the yard and I wanted mine to find a landing spot on the card. The horizontal slats of a cover plate die created a trellis for the butterflies and areas to also stamp small sentiment phrases. A few sequins mimic the blackberries and blueberries on the tray.
This card is ready to cheer someone's summer day!
