Butterfly Wishes

 I'm sneaking in just in time for the butterfly challenge ...

I'm so happy to have discovered Altenew watercolor card! It's wonderful. Happy to get out this Penny Black butterfly too ... I haven't used it in a while ... and paired with Hero Arts sentiment. I used Daniel Smith watercolours for this.

My card was also inspired by this card by Cécile Ribon which I spotted on Pinterest. I can't find the actual post - but it's worth a visit to her blog. Her cards are amazing!

Layers of Flowers

I did some no line colouring with Daniel Smith watercolour a couple of weeks back. Thank you Kristina at lachristanel design for the colour inspiration.

Now time to put them on a card. I die cut them and decided I needed to layer them if I wanted them all on one card.

So another gatefold card, this time with a middle layer.

Here you can see the middle layer, as well as more leaves on the back layer.

Here you can see it opening and closing ...

This is how it looks folded flat to go in the envelope.

Flowers

Trying my hand a no line watercolouring for The Daily Marker 30 Day Coloring Challenge. 

I wanted to have a flower pot, so I used one of the vases from Versatile Vases, only adding some C1 Copics for shadows, but embossing it to give texture.

The "wood table" is patterned paper from the Essential Rock Collection.
