Spring

This weeks challenge is spring, so I decided to pull out one of my butterfly stamps to celebrate Spring. I did a little experimenting again today. This card was done using the Watercolor Over White technique from the 2006 Technique Junkies CD. The technique actually called for us to use watercolor crayons or pencils to color the images which are stamped in white pigment, so I decided that Creative Inspirations paints would look even better, or so I hoped. I was right. Not only do you get great color, but the shimmer adds pizzazz to the look. This great background stamp is from Chapel Road Artstamps. Oh yes, CI paints work great over grungeboard too. The letters are made from grungeboard.
