Watercolor Birthday for PPA 255

These colors were a great choice for the color challenge at Pals Paper Arts.  Great picks everyone!

I couldn’t wait to try out some of my new stamps for PPA 255.  I have just had watercoloring on my mind lately.  For this this card, I wanted to create the look of watercoloring but with my new stamp sets: Watercolor Wash, Watercolor Words, and of course Watercolor Wings.  Watercolor Wings is available in a bundle with the matching Bold Butterfly Framelits Dies which will save you 15% compared to buying both separately.  

The Watercolor Wash background stamp was inked with Sahara Sand and then stamped onto Whisper White cardstock.  I then adhered that piece at an angle onto the Sahara Sand cardstock.

I then inked up the larger butterfly in Watercolor Wings with Marina Mist.  Next using Lost Lagoon, I stamped the butterfly with the details on the edges on top of what I had just done.  I stamped the final butterfly image in Island Indigo and stamped once again on top of what I had previously done.  These 3 steps created the unique look of the butterfly.  To finish off the butterfly I stamped the body in Memento Tuxedo Black Ink

The Bold Butterfly Framelits Dies and my Big Shot made cutting the butterfly out a breeze.

 
I then stamped the happy birthday sentiment from Watercolor Words in Early Espresso.
Marina Mist 1/4″ Cotton Ribbon was tied and adhered to the front using Glue Dots.
I dressed up the Whisper White Medium Envelope by using up some of my leftover retired Subtles Designer Series Paper Stack in Marina Mist and my Envelope Liners Framelits Dies.  The new paper stacks have some great details that I can’t wait to use, but for the envelope I figured it was a great chance to use up some of the old.
I hope you enjoy these watercolor stamp sets as much as I do.
