Hallo Everyone!

Here we go with day two of

the Rainbow topic and here

is Craftyfield with an

array of butterflies

"I have been very late to the party with the 

Kaleidacolor inkpads, even though I have 

known about them for years.

 I had seen people brayering with them

 and producing the most beautiful scenes but, 

somehow, I only got around to get my first pad

 only last year. And then, I fell in love... 

I now have several pads, and plan to buy more!

Today, I am using Kaleidacolor inks in 2 ways,

 for brayering of course, and also to ink my stamps. 

I am using glossy paper because this shows off the 

vibrant colours I chose to their best effect.

 I inked 3 butterflies of different sizes with the 

Kaleidacolor - Autumn Leaves inkpad and stamped

 them on glossy cardstock. 

I also stamped the butterflies on a spare 

piece of paper to create masks. 

Before the next step, I placed the masks 

over the stamped butterflies to protect them

Using a piece of Cut & Dry I applied Versamark through the

 Pixelated stencil as a resist.

 I ink the brayer by rolling it over the inkpad several times 

and roll it on a craft sheet to ensure a smooth distribution

 of the ink. 

Some people use a piece of paper for that but 

I hate wasting all that ink, this way I can come back and

 pick the ink up from the craft sheet.

I brayered from the bottom of the card and 

then from the top placing the lighter colours

 in the middle of the card.

Now I use my stamp positioner to place my 

butterfly outlines on top of the solid shapes 

I stamped previously. 

I am using black for the outline.

 My sentiment is stamped with Versamark and embossed with white powder.

Thank you for another super project

Craftyfield It'll soon be butterfly

time again!

These inks are really nice to use and

if you follow the guidelines you will

never get mud and so the pads will 

be useable for so much longer
