Butterfly Muse

Hi All

I am playing along with Muse again this week.

Our Muse is Joan and she has created a gorgeous card for us. As soon as I saw her card I started creating. I was drawn to the water coloured background and the white embossing. I actually made 2 backgrounds and left them over night to dry and flatten. I am not so happy with one of them but hope to see what I can do with it later.

Here is the one I finished this morning. I embossed the butterfly with sparkly white embossing powder, fussy cut it before adhering to my water colour background. I coloured the centre of the butterfly really to hide the adhesive!


Here is Joan's card:


Hopefully I will be able to rescue the other card and post later in the week, although I wouldn't hold your breath!!

I will also enter this into:

    Watercolour is such a leap of faith, isn't it - you never know what you're going to get! This is beautiful - great colour choices and beautiful blending. So glad you joined us at Muse this week, Sandie!

    Wow Sandie, the water colouring is so ethereal in those soft colours and always love that butterfly, it looks incredible in vellum. . And colouring the vellum to hide the glue is such a brilliant idea!!!

    I love your watercolor backgrounds, just a bit of randomly added color and the result is amazing. And white embossing on vellum is so lovely and seems to be quite a trend at the moment.
