I was playing with my inks and watercolor c/s and came up with this sheet that had wonderful gradation. To showcase it, I die cut the butterflies in black and backed it with the gradated strip. There are 4 vertical scored lines to add a little interest. Strips of the coral ribbon are added amongst the scored lines, with a bow at the top. Dream is stamped with black Archival ink onto an oval that is from the dyed c/s.
I didn't have a matching c/s for the base, so I took the main panel to my LSS to match. I found the perfect match.
This may not show as well here as it is IRL, the coloring is very vibrant.
