The butterflies were painted with
Daniel Smith Quinacridone Gold. I mixed two shades, one with more and one with less water. Start with the former and then drop the darker shade into the center of the butterfly. I also dropped a little Lunar Black into the center.
Continue until you have painted all the butterflies. Let dry.
Use Lunar Black to add a little bit of shading to the butterflies.
Ink the edges with Distress Ink Scorched Timber.
Color the embossed dots with a white gel pen.
Stamp the sentiments using
Simon Says Stamp LOL with Pawsitively Saturated Sherbet ink.
I covered the non-embossed part at the top of the tag with Tim Holtz Design Tape Trims.
The glitter and white splatters makes it look like the butterflies are sparkling.
Daniel Smith Lunar Black is a heavily granulating watercolor paint, which you can see on the texture in the center of the butterfly.
I added pompom ribbon and lace trim at the bottom of the tag, to hide the part that wasn't dry embossed.
You can use this coloring technique with lots of embossing folders.
Don't miss all the inspiration along the hop! There are of course prizes to be won too, and at each stop on the hop SSS is giving away a $25 coupon, randomly drawn from those who leave a comment. The winners will be posted post on the Simon Says Stamp store blog on 6 August.
