Faux Watercolour Effect

For this card using the Claritystamp Offer of the Week stamp set, I created a faux watercolour effect by stamping in a Distress Oxide.

Stamp the wreath from the Butterfly Wreath stamp set onto a piece of Clarity stencil card in Antique Linen Distress Oxide.

Add the Happiness is a Butterfly verse from Barbara’s Poetry Verses of the same name into the centre in Onyx Black Versafine ink.

Colour the wreath using Faber-Castell Albrecht Dürer watercolour pencils and a watercolour brush pen.

Die cut the topper using the 4.5” nested circle die and a mat from black card using the 4.75” nested circle picot die.

Mat up the topper and add it to the front of a 5” x 5” white card blank.

Stamp and colour one of the small foliage stamps into each corner as before.

To finish, stamp the small butterfly from the set onto Toscana designer paper in Onyx Black Versafine ink, fussy cut and add to the card.
