Nicole (ButterflyEars) is our hostess this week and she chose watercoloring. I used Staedler watercolor crayons and an aquabrush for my sunflower (Rubber Stampede) and my butterfly (Outlines Rubber Stamps). The sunflower was embossed with brown embossing powder prior to coloring. A little diamond dust to make the butterfly sparkle! I then used the Cricut to cut out the corners and added a flower brad to the centers. A little piercing on the corners and some watermark sunflowers on the background help bring some interest. Offray ribbon finishes off my card.
I used Nestabilities Scalloped Circles to cut out my main image – it opens to reveal a message inside. See second photo. This leaves the inside of the card for a short note.
Thanks, Nicky, for a fun challenge!

Vicky my dear friend, your card is spectacular. I love the beatiful sun flowers, the glittery butterfly and the triple layer scalloped Nesties looks makes the perfect panel for it all.
