Background Building with Stamps

I'm very happy to share a card with you all today, that I made to participate in the ongoing WCMD Challenges at Winnie and Walter blog. I remember they had a similar event during this time last year as well, and I missed it. Didn't want to miss it this time. 

So here's my card :-


To start with, I stamped the smaller sized butterflies from the beautiful Mudra stamp set, in a random fashion. Also, heat embossed a few tiny solid butterfly images from the same stamp to fill in the gaps. Then I water coloured the in-between areas with the help of my new Gansai Tambi water colour paints. These are absolutely AMAZING ! Thanks so much Deepti Agarwal and Tejal Mehta Shah for recommending this and sending me the link to the website. 

The butterflies were also coloured with Gansai Tambi, but I couldn't manage to achieve good shading using these(still need a lot of practice when it comes to colouring images using watercolour cakes), so I added the darker shades using Faber Castel connector pens. 
Added the sentiment from Peek-a-boo stamp set, layered the sentiment strip with a piece of torn vellum and white thread and stapled it along the edge.
Finished off with some colourful sequins.

Linking up this card to :-

Hope you liked my card today. Thanks for visiting. :)

Love,
Jasleen.
