Bonnie, I think your garden is really lovely! Even your sweet butterfly couldn't resist it!
Those stamps are really very tricky but your results are so wonderful - thanks for adding this beauty to our gallery at FMS!

More than passable, Bonnie. That's a technique that gives a beautiful watercolor look and you achieved it with those lovely blue flowers.

Great job on the loose watercolour look (something I'm hopeless at!). A beautiful card, especially given it's my favourite flower colour!).
