Hi crafty friends! It's Michelle Woerner, and I'm here with a reminder for the April challenge. On the first of each month we post a new challenge and we'd love you to play along. If you link up a project from any on line gallery, blog, or instagram, you're automatically entered for the monthly $20 giveaway! The theme for April is Make A Splash, we want you to add water to your design! It could be some water coloring, a rainy day scene, or a technique like smooshing, spritzing or splatter!
To start my card I used the Nordic Belle Butterfly die set and cut them from black and white cardstock. I wanted 3 butterflies with 1 being smaller, so for the center butterfly I omitted the largest layer. That gave the butterfly enough variance that it balanced out the sentiment perfectly. The sentiment uses the "hello" from the Hello Spring die set.
I don't play with water colors often, so this was a fun departure for me. I took out my water color palette and my No 8 round brush and added some colors to my panel as grounding for my butterflies. I added color coordinated gems to the butterfly centers to tie everything together.
I hope I've inspired you to play along with our challenge this month! You can always find the latest challenge by clicking on the badge in the top right corner of this blog!
