Hello, I'm you hostess for today's CC. I hope you enjoy the colors and can find some time to play along with us this week. I chose them because I fell in love with the top piece of dp on my card. Lost Lagoon, Island Indigo, Pistachio Pudding. Dessert: Dry or Heat Embossing.
I stamped my flower image on WC paper and colored using a blender pen and ink pads. I felt the flowers came out too dark so I added some white areas using a gel pen, and I totally like the results. For the stamen I used the pen and wink of stella to try something different.
I stamped the butterfly and colored a bit adding a smaller vellum one with rhinestones to the top; Love it! For the dp leaves, I stamped in VM then in pudding and added clear ep and heated then fussy cut. I added the butterflies also cut from dp, used my spritzer and placed all over fun foam. Thanks for stopping by today! ~Roberta

That pp is so pretty, Roberta! I like how you added some white to your flowers for a bit of contrast - great effect, and I love the vellum layer on your butterfly!
