Sheena Douglass A Little Bit Sketchy A5 Stamp Set - Only Words - From the Heart Stamp

Stamp the butterfly using the Staz-On ink pad and then colour this with your Spectrum Noir Aqua Tints using the brushes that come in the box.

While it is still damp shape the wings to give the butterfly more dimension.

To create the background, wet your watercolour card with water and a large flat brush.

Using the pipettes that come in the box drop some of the Aqua Tint colour onto the wet card and then set this aside to dry.

Sheena Douglass A Little Bit Sketchy A5 Stamp Set - Butterfly Effect StampOnce dry you can attach you butterfly using Collall 3D Glue Gel and stamp your sentiment using Staz-On Ink.

Now matt and layer this to make it stand out and attach this to your card blank to create your finished card.
