Today we're celebrating the birthday of a very special friend,
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!
