Awesomely Artistic, Watercolour Lifted, Bold Butterfly

This is my entry for this week's Global Design Project, which is a sketch challenge.  This is a very restrained card for me!

The top layer of Elegant Eggplant cardstock is popped up on dimensionals and is stamped with Versamark. The butterfly was cut out using a Bold Butterflies Framelit to reveal the pink panel below.  

To create the "pink panel", I did a watercolour wash on Whisper White cardstock using Rose Red and Wisteria Wonder inks.  I then clear heat embossed the floral stamp from Awesomely Artistic before washing away some of the ink.  I then added a very light Rose Red wash over the top to highlight the Wisteria Wonder portion of the stamping.

I created the tag by clear heat embossing the greeting onto Whisper White cardstock before stamping over it with the hessian pattern from the Awesomely Artistic stamp set in Elegant Eggplant.  I sponged on some Wisteria Wonder ink and edged the piece with Elegant Eggplant.  I cut a slightly wider strip of Wisteria Wonder cardstock and used one of the Lots of Labels framelits to shape the ends (one end at a time).

The finishing touch was to place some pink dots from the It's My Party Enamel Dots pack onto Candy Dot Brad Bases.
