Stretch Your Stamps - Day 1

I'm finally able to play along with the Stretch Your Stamps 2 Online Class.  I'm a little behind on my homework but hopefully I'll be able to make a few cards before the gallery closes.

I white embossed Hero Arts Looped Flower onto watercolour paper and gave a rainbow wash of colour with my watercolour paints.  I used the Wink of Stella pen in clear to add sparkle to the flower petals and cut down the piece into three strips.

P1230544c

I wanted to have butterflies that matched and blended in with the watercolour background so I took out my Copics and used them on some vellum and die cut a rainbow of butterflies.  I also used the same Copics to colour white pearls so that everything matched.

The birthday die is from Papertrey Ink, called Wonderful Words Birthday.

Thanks for stopping by today!
