Hi there. I'm so glad you stopped by!
I'm seeing signs of Spring outside my windows. The daffodils are blooming and some
of the trees are budding out. Soon we will be seeing the butterflies, although none
in this color. But I was in an aqua mood.
I used Cécile's sketch from Freshly Made Sketches #725.
I made a loose watercolor background by first painting water randomly then
dropping re-inkers into the wet. I tipped the card to let the water run and blend a bit
then dried with my heat tool. I repeated the process until I was happy with the background.
The butterfly (sorry this one doesn't seem to be available anymore) was cut from
mixed media paper too and colored the same way.
I tore a scrap piece of Neenah to size and embossed it for a place for the
butterfly to light.
I'll also send it over to Seize the Birthday #321 where they are looking for
birthday cards with the option anything with wings.

This is beautiful Bonnie. Love your aqua butterfly and lovely background. Great take on the sketch. Thanks for sharing with us at Seize the Birthday.
So soft and pretty, Bonnie. This would make a great sympathy card. I predict a winner!
So soft and pretty. Love the aqua. 🩵
Winter so far has skipped over us and I am not mad about that! 😂. Just hope we don’t pay for it in the summer with water restrictions and fires. 😬
Your choice of aqua was brilliant, as this card is quite stunning! I love the loose background, the strong embossed piece is a perfect compliment to it
It's a lovely shade of aqua for your mood, Bonnie! Such a gorgeous rendition of Cecile's Sketch, too! LOve your water-y wash of color, that gorgeous torn embossed piece and of course your pretty flutterby!
Thanks so much for joining us again!

A beautiful take on Cécile's sketch, Bonnie! The hint of watercoloring and torn shape, plus a butterfly all in gorgeous shades of aqua! And I love how you added the sentiment in that perfect spot! Thanks, always, for joining FMS!
What a lovely card! I love your background, but the butterfly really steals the show!
Gorgeous card with the butterfly on the partial wall and the blue wash behind, Bonnie - love this!!
Fantastic card, Bonnie. I love the watercolor background and the way you applied the watercolor to the butterfly's wings. The embossing in the base looks really great and draws the eye to the butterfly. I hope you find one in your garden. Nothing is impossible :-)
hugs,

Beautiful card Bonnie! I love that butterfly and the way you’ve created a pretty background! So elegant! Thanks for joining us this week at Freshly Made Sketches!
You absolutely nailed this sketch with your marvelous card, Bonnie!! WWCD!!
Spring? What signs of Spring??? We had sunshine today and temps in the low 30's, but still clumps of snow here and there, so no signs of Spring here yet! I'm jealous. Your card definitely says SPRING though, and I'm loving the aqua water coloring in the background and on the stitched butterfly. Sweet, sweet card my friend and I see a winner too! Hugs. :0)
Beautifully artsy card, Bonnie! Love it!
There is so much to love in this card! The torn and embossed panel, the gorgeous partially-coloured butterfly and the watercoloured background - all gorgeous and all work so well together! Thanks so much for joining us at FMS.
Beautiful design, Bonnie! This card is so fresh and delicate. Thanks for joining us at FMS this week.
Bonnie, your interpretation of this sketch is outstanding. Beautifully done. That's why you get paid the big bucks!!

Bonnie, I love the softness of your card. It is so serene and beautiful. Love it. Thanks for joining us at Seize the Birthday.
I love the softness of your watercoloring ❤️
So very pretty and artsy, Bonnie. Love the soft colours and the torn embossed panel. xx
This is so pretty. i am glad you are enjoying the first signs of spring. Isn't it great? xx
That's a beautiful aqua watercolor with such a pretty butterfly floating over top. Love the torn paper element. Soft and clean and just so lovely!
The aqua is so pretty used on the die cut butterfly and I love the touch of gold for the body, and a complementary background too Bonnie, and perfect placed on the torn embossed with the lovely blue gems and sentiment..a wonderful CAS card. x
