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

Good morning, Birthday Girl...hope yesterday was filled with things fun and fattening! Gorgeous card with those magic Bonnie touches -- the foil, music score and wow color combo on the b'fly.

Happy Birthday Bonnie. Your card is beautiful. I love that butterfly. I am going to have to give this tissue technique a try. You have inspired me.
A slightly belated Happy Birthday Bonnie and hope you had a great day. I adore your prettily coloured tissue butterfly, and the gold body and antenae with the sentiment to match go beautifully. I love that music score in the background too. x
Hope you had a lovely birthday, Bonnie!
"Love" is the perfect sentiment for your card as that is how I feel about it! I love everything about it - the gorgeous colours in the butterfly, the musical background, the touches of gold!
A Happy Belated Birthday, hope you had a Wonderful Day.
Your card is Gorgeous and the hint of gold, really shows it off.
