Instructions:
-Start with a panel of Distress Watercolor Cardstock. Add drops of Distress Paint directly onto the surface. Using a collage brush, spread the paint across the panel—pressing down and then lifting midway to create soft, organic brushstrokes. Repeat with different paint colors, slightly overlapping each layer. Dry between layers with a heat tool.
-Ink the script stamps from sets CMS071 and CMS241 using a brayer with Old Paper Distress Paint. Stamp randomly over the painted panel to add subtle texture. Heat set to dry.
-Stamp images from Field Notes CMS396 over the panel using Black Soot Archival Ink.
-Lightly splatter the panel with Black Soot and Picket Fence Distress Paint for added texture.
-Stamp your sentiment from Floristry CMS485 onto black cardstock. Die cut butterflies from black heavystock and Distress Watercolor Cardstock using the Sizzix Vault Scribbly Butterfly Die, then layer and adhere them onto the panel.
-Put the finished panel onto a white card base using foam adhesive for dimension.
