more color mondays – pretty peacock, lost lagoon and pool party

I have been on a little monochromatic tear recently but I love these three color blues together and thought they would be pretty cool used with the new Butterfly Flight masks!

I am loving our new Stampin’ Hot Foil System – it is so amazing and I love the elevated effect it gives your cards and projects!

Check out today’s More Color Mondays color challenge with Pretty Peacock, Lost Lagoon and Pool Party accented with the gold foil!

I used three of the Butterfly Flight hot foil butterfly dies from my first card introducing the new Stampin’ Hot Foil System in last Friday’s blog post.

I placed the die cuts back into the negative die spaces to hold them in place for the mask coloring.

Check out Friday’s post if you want to see the Stampin’ Hot Foil System in action and the details of how to make the Butterfl;y Flight Hot Foil Dies.

I placed mask #1 over the paper with the three butterfly dies in it and drew a pen line around the notch in the plastic mask (I also placed a line down the left hand side of the edge so that each subsequent mask will line up in the same place.)

Using a blending brush and the Pool Party ink brush through the mask openings until all the open spots are inked.

Remove Mask #1 and replace with Mask #2

Using Mask #2 and the Pretty Peacock ink – blend through the holes over the three butterfly dies until desired color is reached.

Lastly remove Mask #2 and place Mask #3 over the three hot foil butterfly dies. Brush through the openings until you are satisfied with the coloring.
Remove the mask.

The end result is stunning and so easy to professionally color these!

Using the same set up and directions as in Friday’s blog post set up the Sweetly Sentimental Hot Foil dies and create a lot of great sentiments for this and future projects!

I love the options with the Beautiful Ordinary Life DSP gorgeous, colorful watercolor washes on one side and black and white on the other.

Adhere the 4 1/8″ x 5 3/8″ DSP layer to the card base – I choose the black and white side for the larger layer and the colorful side for the smaller layer. (you could reverse them for a totally different look!)

adhere the 3″ x 4″ DSP colored. side up a llittle askew over the black and white DSP layer.

Pop up the butterflies with Stampin’ Dimensionals and choose your sentiment and pop that up with Foam Adhesive Strips in the center of the card.

Adhere Sunset Sparkle Sequins to the card and you have completed an easy DSP card for a special birthday!
