DCM – Come fly with me… – Handmade by Natty

This week over on the Daring Cardmakers blog, Svenja has challenged us to showcase something that flies on our cards.

Well thankfully I had another watercolour panel that I’d worked on recently available to hand and it features the lovely butterfly background stamp from Simon Says Stamp. Perfect for this occasion!

Card | Handmade by Natty | Simon Says Stamp Outline Butterflies

Stamps: Simon Says Stamp – Outline Butterflies, PTI – Graceful Greetings
Dies: Simon Says Stamp – Deco Heart, PTI – Graceful Greetings
Other: Gansai Tambi paints

This is another instance where I wanted to do some colour work on cardstock that wasn’t white. I really like how vibrant the colours turned out on the foggy grey background.

I’m trying to get my money’s worth from those Deco Heart dies, layered up in the same colour they provide a great background for sentiments so they don’t get lost on busy backgrounds.

For a finishing touch I added a few neutral sequins but also used white Nuvo drops to go over the dots created by the background stamp for an extra detail.

Make sure you check out all the fab ideas from the design team over on the blog, and play along if you can!

Happy crafting! 😀

I only use and share products that I genuinely love. The product supply lists that accompany my projects are simply intended to provide a visual overview of what I’ve used in case you have the same items at home or would like to add them to your own shopping list.
In my supply lists, I link to several stores in the UK and US and am an affiliate member of Scrapbook.com, The Greetery, Concord & 9th, Altenew, Spellbinders US and UK, and Amazon UK.

Following the transition of my old blog, Kool Kitty Musings, to Handmade by Natty, the supply lists in those posts may have missing images and out of date links. There is no easy fix for this, I’m afraid – but you can still see which stores stocked the items in question at the time of posting.
