After having heat embossed the music, I stamped the butterfly image from the Beautiful Day set using my black StazOn. I don't often use the StazOn because of the smell, but for this image, I wanted the black to stay on the heat embossed notes rather than be repelled by them. After that dried, I spritzed the paper with water. Then I took my four new In-Color re-inkers and, one by one put a drop of ink onto the wings, helped it spread with my AquaPainter, and, by the fourth colour, had my finished image. Beginning at the top of the right wing and moving clockwise, I used the following inks: Pretty Peacock, Seaside Spray, Terracotta Tile, and Rococo Rose.
I used a matte of Basic Black and then attached it askew onto the base using my Foam Adhesive Strips. Finally, I stamped the sentiment in black ink and the card was done. I love the watercolour effect and the whimsy of the musical notes, don't you?
I hope you'll check out the wonderful creations by the Watercooler Artists over at our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge.

Beautiful card Heidi!! Great design with your heat embossed musical notes in the background and the pretty watercolours over top for the butterfly. The outline image of the butterfly defines the watercolour. Thanks for sharing with us at CAS Watercolour.
