Quiet Meadow Bundle Butterflies

I’ve been loving playing with the new Quiet Meadow Bundle (Quiet Meadow Stamp Set & Meadow Dies) from the new Annual Catalogue.

This project uses Gray Granite stamping with Crushed Curry and Coastal Cabana. Basic White and Granny Apple Green are the accent colours.

The flower image is stamped multiple times along the bottom in Gray Granite. These are then coloured using Watercolor Pencils. I’ve used pack 2 here for the Crushed Curry, Coastal Cabana and Granny Apple Green pencils.

My personal preference is to use grey or brown outline colours when I’m colouring as I like the effect these lighter tones give, rather than the harshness of black. However, neither is right or wrong, crafting is all about personal choice.

Next, butterflies are cut out using the dies and given a coating of Wink of Stella for some sparkle.

Using Glue Dots on the bodies allows the wings to pop up and look like they are flying.

I’ve left my card sentiment free, but it would be easy to add one.

As it’s an easy project to create, the colouring is quite relaxing. You could even make a batch of different colours.

Take a look at my Class Timetable for details of my online classes. This Stamp Set may be making a Stamp Set of The Month appearance soon…

Happy crafting
