Happy Birthday Nancy

Hello there.  I'm so glad you stopped by.

Today we're celebrating the birthday of a very special friend,
Nancy Littrell (scandinancy creates) with a linky party.


A little printmaking with Magnolia Die-cuts and lots of water came together
in an artsy, Monet style background.  It made me thing of Nancy's wonderful artsy style.

Some vellum as the bottom layer of the butterfly softened the colors there.

I hope you have a wonderful birthday, my dear, sweet friend!


Thanks for the visit and special thanks for your comments.

Enjoy!

Your printmaking is so wonderful, Bonnie, and the butterfly looks right at home there.

You've definitely mastered this technique. I love the artsy flow to this background and sentiment strip. The black butterfly and stamped sentiment really pop with this BG. Love the piece of vellum behind the wings too. xx
