Well, everything that could go wrong today, did!
I think God is trying to tell me to quit playing around and get some housework done! LOL!
I really had a hard time deciding what stamps to use but finally pick these two.
Anyway, I did this on watercolor paper because I was going to watercolor it but then decided to use my markers instead. I loved it after I got it all colored but then I decided to use my spritzing tool and spritz a little brilliant blue around. So, that only worked once, couldn't get the blue to work so I tried with the summer sun marker. Here's where the "I don't like it" started. Somehow or another I got the blue ink all over my fingers??? And of course, got it on the image panel. That really made me mad. That's why I sponged the edges. Next I still felt that it needed something so I used the Canvas bg stamp and stamped over the image in blush blossom. You can't see it on the scan. I finally decided to put some blue rhinestones on the flower centers and some brilliant blue brads in the corners. The horizontal panels are my own dp??? Used the canvas bg, the stamp from butterfly of happiness and sponged the edges.
Ok, so I still don't like it much but I'm hoping someone out there will...
Thanks for looking!

WOW! For having such a difficult time with this, you certainly pulled it off beautifully. I have days like that too.

Wendy, I think this turned out to be beautiful! The flowers and butterflies are colored so well, and the rhinestones really show up! The spritzing is fine, and so is the sponging...you are TOO hard on yourself, GF! This is wonderful!!
