My Creative Monday for Magenta - butterfly collage

I LOVE the two new butterflies in the collection .. to showcase them I added the older little bee to the collage. 

The background is a gelliprint on a round gelliplate with the flowery mask, to which I decoupaged tissue paper. 

I have this tissue paper in my stash; ready to use in any collage. I stamped the butterfly collage, 40.327.N, onto this said tissue paper with a black ink. 

I hope you like it!

Wings and Tails

 I am entering this in the challenge on the Sirstampalot challenge blog which is "Anything stamped with option Wings and Tails"

The background is a technique where you use colored pieces of paper and cover it partially with white acrylic paint. 
The butterfly was fussycut from a separate piece of paper. 

Exploring color with butterflies and flowers

I made 2 cards for you today, showcasing what a difference color makes on a background and focal point. 

I've used some leftover backgrounds from a post back in November 2022. 

In that post I made ATC's with an uncolored focal point. It would look like the card below : no color on the main image.   

Color added to the image: 

I went a step further... not just coloring, but choosing 4 different colors from the background to color the main images. Purple and orange on the card above, green and blue on the card below: 

Just so you can see the cards together : it makes a huge difference as to what colors get used on the main image as it makes the colors used in the image pop more in the background. 

...and the second :

Enjoy some more pictures: 

I always get more depth when photographing the projects upright with a light source on the left, in a light box. .. 

That's it for today, I hope you got inspired by my two cards to explore color. 

Please share it with us in the FB group and have a chance at winning some product from the shop as we have an ongoing challenge with an extra moodboard if you like to use itIt is basically a anything goes challenge though, you do not have to use the colors of the moodboard.

Rubber Dance tag

I created a gift tag with one of the Grungy Butterflies and a gelli printed background. It's quite an easy tag to make. A little Tip! White paint splatters are a nice finishing touch as well as stamping a bit of texture with a light ink. Like I did it here with the post stamp and Vintage Script.

For more info see the post on the Rubber Dance blog.

LOVE these colors... different reds and the greenish colors: part of a gelliprint I did a while ago. 
Some white paint splattering and butterflies that were stamped with red acrylic paint to top it off. 

I hope you like it, take care!

My Creative Monday for Magenta - Butterfly Collage

 

An easy colorful tag-on-a-card gave me some joy while creating it.

Bookpaper, stamped and (white) heat embossed tissuepaper, Nuance, gesso, fussycut ticket, butterflies and some Scrapper's floss made it onto the card to create a nice collage of elements.

My Creative Monday for Magenta - Butterfly Girl

A leftover strip of a colorful background onto which I stamped part of the stamp as well,
the face added a little color to and extra color with a watercolor pencil to the butterfly, that's how I created this!

 

 Easy isn't it?  I love this stamp, never played with it before.. I will play with it more, for sure!

Art Journaling with Birdies

 An art journal page from me today, a happy color one.

 I started by scribbling with Neocolor II crayons vertically, then added white acrylic paints with a brush to mute them and partially overlap the colors, scribbled in it with the same crayons. 

After letting it dry I stamped in the background and onto a separate white cardstock, fussycut the birds and butterflies, colored them and adhered them to the page. Only step left now was adding color to the images and some journaling words. 

See you next time!
