Alcohol Inked Stitched Butterflies
by Rebecca Keppel
Summer is in full swing in my neck of the woods! Kids are out of school and the temperatures are rising! Which means it is the perfect time to play with colors and dies! I wanted to create some really fun butterflies using alcohol inks and the Poppystamps Stitched Butterfly Trio.
I created two panels of alcohol inks using two different color schemes. I kept the colors bright and vibrant, but used plenty of alcohol ink Blending Solution to move the colors around.
Once the alcohol ink panels were dry (which did not take long at all considering how much liquid I used!!) I ran them through my die cut machine with the Stitched Butterfly Trio dies.
I love the way the embossed detail from the dies removes some of the color making the stitching look lighter!
Would you like to see how easy it is to create these butterflies and both cards? Check out this video!
