As soon as I saw today's Free for All challenge, I had to make a card for it as I love blue and yellow. I added green as my third colour.
I used a blending tool to add Distress inks to watercolour paper, letting the colours blend where they met, and then flicked some water droplets onto the ink. When it was dry I stamped the butterflies on top, bordered it with black cardstock and popped it up on an embossed panel. I added blue, yellow, and green pearls to the embossed panel to reflect the colours in the focal image panel.
