Lindsey (@doodlings_cards<\/a>) here with you again.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The weather here in the UK has been decidedly dull and dismal all month, so I reached for some warm and cheerful colours. \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I opted for one of my favourite sets – Grungy Butterfl<\/a>ies<\/a> – and used watercolours with one of the smaller images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Then I looked through my rather large pile of “Blue Peter” backgrounds (English joke, sorry to any international readers – it means ready prepared) to find a complementary background for my coloured butterflies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

In keeping with my “warm” colours, I chose a yellow background with hints of green.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If I remember correctly, the background was done with a brayer and distress oxide inks, with background stamping using the Mixed Media Marks 1<\/a> and Pencil Marks 1<\/a> sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/div>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
<\/div>\n\n\n\n

I gathered together some embellishments, fabric and tissue pieces and glued them all down.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I’ve written a blog post on my tissue paper pieces HERE<\/a> if you’d like to take a look.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As you may have noticed by now, I tend to include stitching on all of my projects!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And a bit of bling, using my stash of sequins, pearls and diamant\u00e9 \ud83d\ude06<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It’s been fantastic joining the Rubber Dance DT this month; thank you Susanne for the wonderful opportunity. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

I hope I’ve given you a couple of ideas and inspired you to get inky \ud83d\ude0a<\/p>\n\n\n\n
