I always enjoy Tuesdays. Hubby and I spend the morning pursuing our hobbies then we meet friends at the local watering hole for lunch. In the afternoon we play again and I don't even have to cook dinner. DH makes our tea.
I made this card a few weeks ago on a workshop with Jamie Turvey.
He told us to add washi tape randomly to our cards. Then we put 3 different colours of acrylic paint (our choice) close together on our craft mats and spritzed with water then swiped our cards across the paints.
I chose blue yellow and red as I knew I could get some orange, purple and green from a mixture of those colours. Everbody's card looked very different and I was very pleased with the colours on mine.
We then stamped and embossed the butterfly and masked it before continuing. Everything else was our choice - sentiment, where we placed it and any masks we decided to use. I used a Tim Holt letter mask and embossed with gold then stamped red numbers into spaces at top right and bottom left.
We added die cut cogs and the pen nib to the butterflies body. Job done!
I would like to link this card to the following Challenges:-

Oh Barb what a gorgeous design and colors.

Hello Barb and welcome to my butterfly challenge. Read with interest how you have made this card. The colours are lovely and the way you have used the washi tape is quite unique. Thankyou for fluttering by my challenge. Hugs Mrs A.
Ps. That is a lot of cards to make in any one month.
Wow Barb, this is gorgeous. I love the warmth, which is of course perfect for my challenge of Warm Summer Colours. So much gorgeous detail and dimension too!
Thanks for your email about your entry. I would have found it when I next logged into Inlinkz as it puts the cards that haven't quite met the criteria into a sort of holding file, so I would have checked at that date what was preventing you from entering and then published it for you.
I think it doesn't have a problem if you link directly to the actual challenge in future, rather than just the blog.
Anyhow, thank you for sharing this gorgeous piece with us!

I somehow missed this when it was first posted, but I've just seen you've won a special prize on the Butterfly Challenge, so popped over to see your card. What a stunning design, Barb! A really unusual way to use the washi tape too. xx
What a beautiful card! I am so glad Mrs A. gave us your link or I would have missed it. I must remember that with all the washi tape I have in my stash! I like your choice of colours by the way. Kate x
