My SC182 Watercolor Wash card using one of my favorite stamp sets, Touch of Nature that is retiring. I was also able to use all scraps for this easy to use layout. For even more fun, I used Beate's Watercolor Wash technique for the main image. Heck, how about another fun technique...dimensional butterfly from Essence of Love made really dimensional by adding 2 thick layers of Crystal Effects to the wings. A really pretty 4 1/4" square card.....I think :-)
Thanks Roxie and Beate for your inspiration :-)

This is beautiful. I love the colors and how you used the DP. Great top layer with the stamping and the sentiment. The butterfly finishes it off and it such a neat detail, TFS

Fantastic card, Nancy! I LOVE your BG squares--the way you placed them with the stripes, other design and colors in the opposite corners! The fern, butterfly and sentiment are wonderful!

Oh Nancy, this is outstanding! The DSP is perfect and your image is just gorgeous- very well done. Into my faves so I can case when my set comes in next week. I ordered a few retiring sets and can't wait to get this one. Hope you are having a great week.
