Sketched Butterflies You Brighten my Day Card. Monochromatic Insta Hop - Cherry Cobbler

 Good Morning Everyone,

Today I'm sharing a card I made for the Monochromatic Insta Hop a few week's ago and our colour was Cherry Cobbler. I adore this shade - it's a lovely deep red tone.

I didn't want a solid block of colour, so instead of using the card stock I decided to create a fun effect on a Basic White Card Base. Ink and some sponges and blending brushes gave this amazing background for the beautiful sketched butterfly focal piece.

What do you think?

Measurements

1pc - scrap

------------------------------------------

Take the Thick Basic White and fold along the score line to create your card base.

Lay out your Cherry Cobbler ink pad and using Sponges and blending brushes add ink to the whole piece. I wanted a very rough and textured effect so I was very blotchy with my application - creating lighter and darker spots. I didn't want it 'blended' smoothly either so I added the ink with dabbing and rough motions.

Ink up the sentiment in Memento Black Ink and stamp centrally along the bottom of the basic white mat layer.

Add dimensionals to the back and then add to the centre of the card front.

On a scrap of Basic White stamp the largest butterfly from Sketched Butterflies in Memento ink and once dry colour in using the Cherry Cobbler Stampin Blends. - I used both the light and dark tones to get different shades.

Cut out using the coordinating die and your Stampin Cut & Emboss Machine.

Place this into the centre of the card front adding dimensionals just to the body, that way you can lift up the wings and get even more depth.

I hope you have enjoyed my card today - I really love creating this fun background. It look awesome in Cherry Cobbler, but I will definitely be looking to cretae this with different colours in the future.
