To make the card, I started by coloring my craft mat with SU markers in all of my chosen colors. Then I spritzed with water and rubbed my watercolor paper into it for the background. Once dry, I stamped sunflowers on top in all of those colors. I punched some butterflies in coordinating cardstock and glittered the edges. Stitching around the background and sentiment (velum) finished it off!
Thanks for looking!

Your background paper is so lovely - I don't think I've ever tried smooshing colours like that with watercolour paper. Definitely worth trying - I also love the way you've used different colours to stamp the sunflower. And your little rainbow of butterflies - an altogether gorgeous card.
