The Technique Challenge was to use TLC20 – baby or wet wipes, CC30, SC40 – three challenges in one! Colors were Stampin Up - Bravo Burgundy and Creamy Carmel.
-It was hard to get the darker color I wanted with the wipes but I kept at it until I liked it. Both colors were used on both of the top panel sections but just more of one than the other on each.
-The same colors were used on the butterflies with just a touch of white Twinkling H2oÂ’s over the burgundy to give it a glimmer in real life. I used re inkers and artist brush for coloring.
-I used a black marker to define the edge of the top panel.
-Ink distressing was done on the caramel, circles and two tone top layers. After tool distressing the caramel layer I did the direct to paper technique (rubbed the edge right in the stamp pad.)
-Circles are 1 ½” punch (Cuttlebug’s largest size circle die cut is the same size) and the second size of the Cuttlebug die cuts for the smaller circle.
