It's reminder time for CAS Watercolour
To make this butterfly, I smooshed some tissue in ink that had been
laid down with distress inks and smooshed.
I really liked how it looked after it dried so I glued it to a piece of cardstock.
This Penny Black die was perfect to cut it out.
I wanted a little glitz so I die cut the body from a snippet of gold foil
and the sentiment from another.
The background was made by masking the card front and
stamping the music score.
There's still time to join in at CAS Watercolour
with your watercolor butterflies
and there's still time to join in at
My mixed media are tissue paper, stamping, watercoloring, masking and die cuts
Both Challenges are open until the 24th.

Enjoy!
