I have seen this partial coloring technique quite a bit lately and wanted to give it a try. I stamped my butterflies on a card front, after lightly outlining the size of the rectangle I knew I would cut after stamping. I wanted to make sure that each butterfly would have a section on the raised rectangle as well as a section outside that rectangle.
After stamping my butterflies, I used a Memory Box Cross Stitched rectangle to cut out the center section. I used my Ziggies without water to color in the butterfly wings on the rectangle. Then, I replaced that rectangle, popping it up with a piece of fun foam. Everything colored got a big coating of WOS.
I am also entering this card over at Just Add Ink #272 where their challenge is Butterflies.
Now, it's your turn. How are you inspired by WINGS? I hope you play along this week. Please remember to keep it Clean and Simple.

ReplyDeleteThis rocks, Joyce! Such a cool technique that adds so much interest!
ReplyDeleteGreat design, Joyce, with only one half of each butterfly colored and the rectangle layer matched up perfectly. I need to try this technique one of these days. The Summer is flying by, and I've found little time to stamp. My lust of needed cards keeps growing and growing.
ReplyDeletecool!
ReplyDeleteThis technique is so pretty! Perfect choice for butterfly wings! Thank you for your explanation too, because I am definitely going to give it a try now. I love how you have used the same colours across all three butterflies, but swapped out the colours for the middle one. Stunning Joyce!!
