embossing paste

Butterfly Art Journal Page

April 27, 2021

Hi there,

It’s Tanja here and today I would like to show you how to create this Butterfly Art Journal Page:

Step 1: Creating the Background

apply Embossing Paste through the Waves stencil on a piece of watercolor paper and let this layer dry thoroughly
add color using pinks from the Watercolor Palette
ink up the edges with Distress Ink Black Soot and add some splatters with watered-down black acrylic ink

Step 2: Creating the Butterfly

roll a piece of purple tissue paper for the butterfly’s body
add little antennas – I used ready-made stamen that you would normally use for flower centers
cut out two wings from vellum using a die from the Butterfly Pocket Insert set
color the vellum with a light teal Alcohol Marker
assemble the butterfly using hot glue
add a pre-made sentiment

I hope you got inspired.

Hugs,

Supplies:
