JAI #286: STAMPIN' UP! WATERCOLOUR WINGS IN WISTERIA

I was tempted to add "Wonder" to the end of the title of today's blog post, but decided it might just be alliteration overload!

This week's Just Add Ink challenge, set by Tina, is to "Just Add Anything starting with W".  Boy, this allows for a wiiiiiiide scope of ideas!  We hope you'll put on your thinking cap, and play along with us.

I have incorporated Wisteria Wonder (a delightful purple in Stampin' Up!'s core colour range), wings, and washi tape on the card I'm sharing with you today.  I decided it's about time I made a butterfly card; I've been resting that theme lately!




The butterfly, although not terribly obvious in my photo (shall I add "woeful lighting" to my list of W words used today?), is double-layered.  The lacy top layer is cut from Wisteria Wonder card, that I first stamped using Wisteria Wonder ink and Watercolor Wings stamp set.  I silver-embossed the butterfly's body.  The patterns peeking through the butterfly die-cut are thanks to Everyday Chic Designer Washi tape.  I lay horizontal strips, of the two silver designs in the pack of washi, across a piece of Whisper White card, then die cut a solid butterfly shape.  Here's a closer look at the washi butterfly layer:
