Butterfly Card with Metallic Water Coloring

February 9, 2019 by Heather Holbrook

Butterfly Card with Metallic Water Coloring

I love the pops of metallics on dark cardstock on this beautiful butterfly card. The stamp was heat embossed with black on dark cardstock and then was water colored using metallic markers and a water brush.

You can find out more about metallic water coloring over on the Spectrum Noir blog.

-Heather
