CAS Watercolor

Hi There again -

One more card today for the CAS Watercolor Challenge


 

I scribbled some watercolor brush pens onto some hot-press watercolor card.  I wanted the colors to blend a bit but not to lose their individual colors since this is a challenge for colorful butterflies.  The colors were then lightly spritzed with water. It created some blending, but not a muddy mess thankfully.  I die cut the butterflies with a Simon Says Stamp set of stitched butterfly dies.  I mounted the butterfly, added the dotted lines and sentiment.



I might be disqualified since one of my butterflies flew the coop before getting glued down...and then the card looked better as a square with just one butterfly.

Thanks for stopping by.

You are on an amazing creative roll, Cat! Such fabulous designs this week! I love the way you did colored your butterfly and have her fluttering across your card! I also love the plum color of the base!! Hugs, Darnell

So colorful, and I love the plum background color and how the butterfly trails up from the sentiment!
