Watercolor Butterfly for Addicted to CAS


I have a new toy!

 I had to have wanted the Wplus9 Flora and Fauna set since I saw it last year.

 What a perfect set! It has flowers, butterflies and birds.

 It was my choice for the challenge at
Addicted to CAS 
this time and I chose.


The sponsor this time is
Prize - $10 voucher to the store
(They have some pretty butterflies too.)
And we have a new Guest Designer this month.
Do go visit her blog.
She has some awesome CAS Designs!


 I stamped this medium-sized butterfly with StazOn ink
and watercolored it with Distress Markers and my Aqua Painter.

 Love the way it turned out.

 I even got some good splatters!

 I had this little snippet from a piece that I did using 
Kylie's Acrylic Block Technique.

 It seemed a perfect resting spot for my butterfly.

 and my snippet gets me into
Pixie's Snippet Playground

and

Addicted to Stamps this week is
MAKE YOUR MARK
I colored with Distress Markers.

 Thanks so much for the visit and for your uplifting comments.
I appreciate each of them.

 Enjoy!
