Hi there crafty friends! It’s Cheiron Brandon here and I am back with a new project just in time for spring. Today I am pulling out some colors from the newest Distress Watercolor Pencil sets and pairing them with the Vault Scribbly butterflies from Tim Holtz and Sizzix for a clean and simple springy card. Â
Â
Step 1: Cut Vault Scribbly Butterflies from Distress Watercolor Cardstock and Distress Black Heavystock. Â
Â
Step 2: Gather up your Distress Watercolor Pencils. I used Saltwater Taffy, Victorian Velvet, and Wilted Violet for the first butterfly and for the second Broken China, Squeezed Lemonade and Evergreen Bough. Â
Â
Step 3: Scribble your waterolor pencils over the die cuts. The more your scribble, the more pigment will be added to your paper!Â
Â
Step 4: Use a brush and water to move the pigment over the die cut, dry with a heat tool. Â
Â
Step 5: Repeat the scribbling and blending with the brush until you achieve the intensity that you want, dry with heat tool. Â
Â
Step 6: Take your butterflies and stamp from Note Quotes and plan where you would like it to go on the page. Â
Â
Step 7: Stamp the Note Quotes using Black Soot Distress Archival Ink. Â
Â
Step 8: Using a palette knife, add Distress Texture Paste through the Sticks stencil being careful to avoid the sentiment. Â
Â
Step 9: Remove stencil and let the paste dry. Â
Â
Step 10: Adhere the black butterflies to your painted pieces. Let dry. Â
Â
Step 11: Bend the butterflies slightly so they are popped up when you adhere them to your card. Â
Â
Step 12: Adhere butterflies to card using foam tape. Â
I hope you enjoyed creating this simple card with me today and using your Distress Watercolor Pencils to get deep pigmented color on your die cuts!Â
