This week's Splitcoast Stampers Inspiration Challenge comes from the online store of Thomas Paul. I chose this Alcazar Flutter Pillow to inspire my design.
I loved the resist image of the butterflies with the vibrant orange hue. I stamped three different butterflies from the Crafter's Companion Flying Colors Stamp Set by Sheena Douglass in Versamark ink on watercolor paper and clear embossed.
Next I saturated the paper with Heidi Swapp's Georgia Peach Color Shine Spray. Once it had soaked into the paper for about 15 minutes, I wiped off the excess color with a baby wipe. I wanted a bit more red tone to my design, so I added a few sprays of Strawberry Daiquiri Memories Mist and wiped again.
I finished by stamping Thinking of You from Sentiment Swirls in India ink on a scrap of the sprayed paper and clear embossed to add more contrast.
I'm also joining the Sprays, Paints & Mists Challenge at Sentimental Sunday.
I hope you find inspiration.
Nice card! Like the bright, neon-like color effect and the emb butterflies. :)

Great choices! My eye would be drawn to that pillow too.
