Hello everyone! Hope you are all having a great Tues! Today's CC is Pumpkin Pie, Summer Sun and Old Olive (or Kiwi Kiss). I was aftraid these colors would look too fall like for the spring mood I'm in, but in the end I love how they came together.
I used my Penny Black stamp to stamp the main image on watercolor paper, and I watercolored with markers. I added Stickles and Clear Glitter Pen work. I also lightly sponged OO around the floral but you can't see that in the bright light this morning. The butterfly is from Natural Beauty and again colored with markers and jazzed up with glitter pen. The DP is BasicGrey.
Thanks for looking and I hope you like it!

Grace, I love it all- but that butterfly is perfect in placement and color! It makes your card jump off the page! I love it.

Just beautiful! I love the sponging and the incredible butterfly. It makes me long for the leaves to come back on the trees.....and that soft spring green color.

This is so beautiful, Grace! I love the DP and I really like that stamp! Great coloring of the flowers and the gorgeous butterfly! Such a wonderful spring-like feel! Looks like spring outside but sure doesn't feel like it! Brrr...
