Stamp of Approval Beautiful World Collection

Every item in this new Stamp of Approval Collection has been hand chosen by Catherine Pooler to coordinate perfectly.  Eleven designers (that's right, 11!!!) are coming together today to show you how wonderfully well the Beautiful World works together and how many amazing possibilities there are using this collection (well, we'll touch on a few of them anyway ;)  This means that if you leave a comment at every stop along the way, you will have 14 chances to win!  How exciting is that?

So let's get going, you have places to go and amazing projects to see!

For my card I stamped and embossed these gorgeous, large butterflies on watercolor paper with onyx black Versafine ink and clear embossing powder.  Then did some watercoloring with my Kuretake real brush markers.  I colored in the butterflies doing some light shading.   These butterflies are so large and so easy to color.  I'm totally impressed with the size of this stamp.  After coloring the butterflies I colored a blue hue on the background and then blended it using my waterbrush.  

All stamps and dies used are from the Stamp of Approval Beautiful World Collection.  

A little closer up you can see all of the great detail in these butterflies.  I added a little brushed pewter distress stain to add some sparkly magic to this card.
