Beautiful Butterfly

Good morning all, 

I hope Tuesday has started well. 

It is a wet start here so another wet dog walk. 

I do hope we get some sun later this week, I think we all need some. 

Today I have a tutorial for you, using a fabulous new stamp from Tracy Evans for Aall & Create.

It is #449 - Through the Meadows. 

You know how I’m loving creating meadow designs at the minute, 

So this is just right up my street. 

There are 3 large stamps on this A4 stamp plate and each one is a design in itself .

For this design I wanted to stamp in a different colour to black. 

As you know it is something I have been doing quite a lot recently. 

I am sure my friend Karen will approve of the purple vibe. 

Next I added some colour with ink and water. 

Then I added some shade , 

It always amazes me what a difference some shadows can make. 

Next I added some extra colour plus some highlights using yellow. 

I love this colour combination. 

I also stamped the butterfly out twice more, added colour and cut them out. 

I added a fabulous rusty clock hand to the body of the butterfly. You can 

have so much fun, you could add a pen nib, a safety pin, so many possibilities.

I also added some Posca pen and glossy accents. 

Look how fabulous the yellow posca splatters look. 

I hope you manage to catch Abs today and tomorrow on Hochanda. 

Thanks for popping in 

Much love and hugs
