#gelypostcardplay, Card Number 20-Just A Few Butterflies...

  Evening Crafty peoples! I'm late with my card number 20 for CeriTheCrafter's July challenge, #gelypostcardplay. And why am I  late? It was my printers fault, my new one, just wasn't having any today. All the bells and whistles were working, so I kept pressing print, and nothing happened, except two sheets of stuff all about the printer shot out. (????) So I turned it off and on a couple of times... all I wanted was the last bit of the wording for my card... 'Believe, wishes can come true', (I wished the flippin' printer would work!) Anyway, at last it did, so I nipped off to finish the card not thinking what the printer was up to... yep... it printed that sentence out, nine times!

This geli-printed postcard started life as a  wishi-washi blue that I'd stamped or pressed  a wooden shape of a butterfly into the paint. And because I still can't find the embossing folder I want to use for my 'Surf's Up' card, decided to play with this instead. 

 My Posca pens arrived today, Yay!! (Ceri's fault of course, I had to have more) Really quick service from Hobby Craft, more colours and different nib sizes. So I had a play with them to brighted that shaped butterfly up a bit. The butterflies  down the side are a  from a magazine; diecut from a paler wishi-washi bluey/pinky scrap. The leaves/branches in the corner are diecuts from more geli-printed paper.

I also had a diecut for the little catterpillar, but it was too small, so I drew that one. (on geli-paper) He's saying, 'I wish I could fly.' And of course, we all know one day his wish will come true. The very tiny butterflies disappearing into the blue are from Katy Sue.

I went around the edges in white and purple pens, plus a bit of Distress Oxide Tim Holtz Blueprint Sketch. And that's it! Look out for number 21 tomorrow. Maybe some keys? I was thinking along the lines of Catch 22 for number 22...(the novel) which was originally called Catch 18... (That's why writers need agents!) Thank you for stopping by!
