| Glitter pens butterfly |
This was one of those cards that I thought I was just going to have to throw away! I originally stamped the Stampin' Up butterfly in a purple Ranger distress ink to watercolor it... but forgot it wasn't on watercolor paper until AFTER I tried to watercolor it! So next step... add Wink of Stella to some of the areas I had watercolored... it just made it look like a glittery mess! Finally decided to go with Sakura glitter pens I've had for ages! Different, wild colors! That made it look better but it still had the purple outlined butterfly. So a black Copic to the rescue! Did you know that the Wink of Stella pen still shows up shimmery after having Copics on it?? I didn't until I started coloring it! I love the effect! After adding the black... POW!... it jumped off the page! I fussy cut it out and attached it to a Neenah 110 lb solar white card base. Here's a close up picture of the glittery colors!
