After yesterday’s grey monotone creation I really wanted to bring a little colour back into this series of mini makes.

So I did!

Pow! Now that’s colourful, right?!

Anyway, best tell you how I cobbled this together.

The background was made by heat embossing the Script stamp from Indigo Blu onto watercolour cardstock using white embossing powder.

I then applied some Tim Holtz distress ink and spritzed with a little water and allowed the colour to spread and dry.

The butterfly was another from the Indigo Blue range. This was stamped onto white cardstock using a Versafine inkpad. I then used a pink pigment ink to brush on some colour. I then cut this out and applied a layer of Glossy Accents and allowed it to set.

For the “fly” sentiment I used individual mini alphabet stamps to spell out the word (and add the brackets). I brushed the edges with a lilac coloured pigment inkpad and then cut it down using my small Tonic Studios guillotine.

To assemble I first cut down the wings on the butterfly (poor thing) to fit the top layer of the ATC. I then applied some Anita’s mini gems down the thorax (his body – get me with those fancy words).

I layered up the background onto two more layers and then stuck the butterfly, and the sentiment into place.

The final touch was the addition of the eyelets for which I used the Cropodile eyelet hole punch and setter.

And there we have it, another ATC for the collection.

Marvellous isn’t it?!

I hope that you like it and that it may inspire you to have a go at these manageable mini makes.
