I hate it when I actually have a decent chunk of time to spend in the Craft Cave and the mojo goes into hiding. It's so frustrating! I was trying to play around with watercolors and didn't make much more than a mess in the end. I really don't feel like I'm improving with practice when it comes to that medium. :( I finally gave up on the painting and decided to move onto something more simple. I used the negative of a PTI butterfly die as a mask along with some Distress Inks to create this one layer card for the current CAS(E) This Sketch and Addicted to CAS challenges. I am so grateful that those inks cooperated so it didn't feel like the day was a total loss!
Supplies Used:
Cardstock: (White) Bazzill
Stamps: (Sentiment from Halftone Hello) Altenew
Inks: (VersaFine Onyx Black) Tsukineko, (Shabby Shutters & Peacock Feathers Distress Inks) Ranger
Die: Papertrey Ink
Gems: Recollections
Glitter: (Clear Wink of Stella) Zig

I'm no good at water coloring either! Love, love, love this...the vibrant colors are fabulous Jen.
Yes I know what you're talking about... the mojo thing!
In spite of mojo hiding... you created a really beautiful card for our sketch this week!
Thanks for sharing!
This is absolutely stunning! What a clever way to use the die!
Definitely not a loss! I only watercolor the most simple things...I know my sorry limitations with it, lol! Love your inking of this sweet butterfly. Awesome colors too. Great font; fits perfectly with this card. And it's ALMOST above zero here....brrrrr! Bev
Fresh and clean Jen, pretty card!
Love it!
I'm sorry you're so frustrated with watercoloring, Jen, but this card turned out to be fantastic.
This is such a pretty butterfly, Jen! I love these colors! Keep trying with the watercoloring. It'll come to you. Thanks for sharing with us at ATCAS!
Funny how often time and mojo seem to be inversely proportioned. :( But you ended up with this CAS beauty, so it's all good!
Oh so beautiful Jen!
This is such a beautiful card! Love the colors. I struggle with watercolors too, I keep practicing but it usually end up in the bin. :-) Thanks for sharing over at AtCAS!
Wonderful OLC, Jen! Love the vibrant colors on your butterfly!
