Holly Brown: Bands of Color Butterfly

Hi Junkies!  It's Holly posting today, and the Technique of the Week is Bands of Color from the April/May 2013 issue.  This is a great technique for backgrounds and I've gone with a spring-y pastel color combo today.  I used the Bands of Color technique on the white background and then I used my square Spellbinders dies to cut out a piece in the middle so my focal piece would match up with the bands in the background.  The butterfly and sentiment are from Stampin Up and I added a couple of small pearls to the center of the butterfly.

I hope you try this fun and easy technique and share your artwork with us over on the Technique Junkies Yahoo group.  If you are not a member of the Yahoo group, please contact Pat Huntoon for details on joining.  :-)

Bands of Color - Technique of the Week

Isn't this fun to have the Technique of the Week back again to challenge us to do something new? This week it is Bands of Color from the current newsletter. 

And now for a confession -- I should have done my card before today. But we have been very busy and are now away on vacation for a short time.  So I brought products and card stock with me -- no Internet where we are but general and shared wifi in a community center.  So here I am.

I love this image of these little girls walking in the sea grasses and the gentle sea breezes blowing their hair. It is a retired image from Stampin' Up.  I water colored the image.

I hope you enjoy this technique.  Have you tried it yet?
