Welcome! Yes, I told you yesterday that I needed a butterfly intervention. (And you thought I was kidding!) Once I started playing with the oxide inks and butterflies, I had a hard time stopping. For today's My Favorite Things WSC328 sketch challenge card, I tried using Sweet Tooth cardstock for my background rather than watercolor paper since I was heat- embossing a more detailed stamp. I found that it worked fine, IF I didn't scrub at the watercolor washes very much. (If you overwork your washes, the paper will start peeling.) I also had a little bit of buckling, but it's not bad. Normally when I have buckling, I leave my sheet of dry cardstock sandwiched in between the plates of my die cutting machine overnight. That pretty much flattens anything!
Here's the sketch: remember that you can always change the orientation, flop the elements, enlarge or reduce them--whatever works for you!
While I used Worn Lipstick and Spicy Marmalade oxide inks again, I used a more water than I did on my Release Replay card, so it has a softer look. I loved how the Wavy Coloring Book background turned out!
How about playing along with the MFT WSC 328 sketch challenge? You can find more information HERE on the MFT Stamps Blog, as well as plenty of visual inspiration! Thank you for visiting today,
