The One with the Neat & Tangled February Release Day Four

For this card, I started with a piece of Arches Hot Pressed watercolor paper. I stamped one of the butterflies from the NEW Butterfly Beauties stamp set with Versafine Nocturne Clair ink and heat embossed it with Simon Says Stamp clear embossing powder.

I love the look of very loose water coloring. Totally out of the lines water coloring. It truly makes me feel free and it's so much fun. I used my Avery Elle liquid watercolors to paint my butterfly in a rainbow. I just started with the color Cherry and painted my rainbow from left to right. Using Lemon Grass, Fizz, Sapphire, Aquamarine, and Sugar Plum. After I completely covered my butterfly in color I then splattered those same colors across my card. lastly, I trimmed the panel down to 3 by 4-3/4.

As for the sentiment, I took one of the black pieces of cardstock from the NEW Neat & Tangled cardstock assortment pack and cut it down to 3 1/2 by 4 3/4. I loaded it into my Mini MISTI and stamped the "a friend like you is rare" using Nuvo clear mark embossing ink. Then I heat embossed it using Simon Says Stamp white embossing powder.

To finish off the card I added the watercolored panel to the black panel using black craft foam and tear tape adhesive. Then I added them both to a Simon Says Stamp Fog card base cut to size A2 and scored in side-folding landscape orientation.

Some may say it looks like a mess. I think it looks awesome and I can't wait to paint something else just like it.

I hope I've inspired you to create with the NEW Neat & Tangled release. Make sure you (CLICK HERE!) to visit the shop and check out the blog for more inspiration from the rest of the design team.
