After struggling quite a bit trying to do some watercoloring, I finally was able to create this card for
I first tried watercoloring a floral bouquet and that just did not come together. I just have so much trouble with water colors. I tried the wet method and dropping in colors using Distress Inks, but it just didn't turn out. So I decided to do some watercolor smooshing and finally after some struggle again came up with this background.
I used Rubberneck Butterflies are Free stamp set and used my Ziggies.
Cottage Cutz Nested Stitched Scallop Oval dies
I have had a happy week being in my craft room several days.
So much fun....
I am also entering into STB

Green and blue together are my favorite blend and this looks great. I can't seem to do water color well either but I can smoosh pretty well. My goal this year to to learn water color better and also to make scenes. After seeing Maria and Kara make those darling cards at the retreat I want to do that too. Your butterfly is so pretty and I love those scalloped frames.
So glad you persevered Lin as your card turned out BEAUTIFUL!! I just love blues and greens together so you couldn't have gone wrong there, and your purple butterfly is the icing on the cake! Lovely, lovely card my friend and so glad you found time to play in your happy space! Thanks so much for sharing with us at CAS Watercolour...we love seeing you in the gallery!! :0)
