Butterfly Sprite

Today we have a new Showcase at Aurora Wings, it is a lovely new sprite - Butterfly Sprite.

She comes in two different versions - Fancy wings and Simple Wings.


For my card today, I have used Fancy wings.

I printed her onto watercolor paper and added some flowers stamps by Polka Doodles, I then masked off the sprite and used a smooshing technique with Tambai Gansai watercolors for the background in a mix of reds, oranges and yellows and a little bit of gold.



once it was dry I sprayed with Perfect Pearls for a lovely iridescent finish.

When it came to coloring my sprite, I used Copics for the skin and petals, then decided to try painting the wings with some mica powders I have had for ages but never used.


Finally I matted onto brown and cream card and a lovely designer paper, adding a little dandelion and hand tied bow.

    Really love the watercolor background of warm colors for this baby. Love how you gave her a pretty red flower dress!! What little girl doesn't love a pretty red dress? I like how you balanced the warm colors with the muted purple in the DP. So beautiful! Thank you so much for this gorgeous inspiration for our Butterfly Sprite showcase, Julie! Mitzi xxx
