This is for two challenges F4A230 Bright and Beautiful, WT488 (Open the Gate)
NO, I did not watercolor this paper. It is probably the OLDEST DP I own. It is the very first paper stack I ever bought at Michaels. The colors actually are very bright and intense...this is not a good photo. The IO butterflies were cut with paper from the same stack. The corners are Cheery Lynn. the sentiment SU and the label Spellbinder. The butterflies overlap to hold the gatefold shut as well as the label.
Thanks for stopping by to take a look!

LOVE this paper Peggy ... definitely looks like you watercolored. Pretty design with the butterflies ... and using the gate fold. Love the sparkle from the rhinestones.

That is the most gorgeous designer paper I have seen and love the matching papers under the butterflies! I love the design with the butterflies holding the gate closed! How creative, Peggy! The matching bling and gorgeous label finishes this off beautifully!
Peggy, this is such a gorgeous card... simply WOW! It already took my breath away - and it is not even a good photo! Love the dp, the butterflies... well, everything!

Is that an old Provocraft pad? It looks so like one from which I am still hoarding a few last sheets. You've showcased it beautifully with the white diecuts and beautiful gem-bedecked butterflies.

This is just so amazing Peggy. That background paper is gorgeous but I can't imagine it bright! I love the soft effect your 'not so good' photo gives! LOL Into my faves for sure.
Oh Peggy, with all of those rich scrumptious colors, this card looks almost good enough to eat!!! And using the label and butterflies to "hold the gate shut" was a wonderful design concept!!!! And if I did not know better, I would swear that you watercolored the background!!!
