I used a QK (Quickutz) diecut sign with a cut out Clematis from Flourishes "Clematis & Butterflies", and the sentiment is from Flourishes "Enjoy the Ride" set. The butterfly is from an Inkadinkado set. Both are watercolored in with Tombows. The paper is from MME and the pearls are from Zva.
I wanted it to look like the clematis had grown in and had interwoven in with the sign.
I know the reds on the flowers and butterfly are a tad bright, but I did want them to pop off the page instead of fighting to be seen off the background paper. I am not normally a fan of "Go Bold or Go Home" cards, but I like to shake things up every once in a while telling myself, it's just a card and they should be fun and not all self imposed "rules" ;)
This is also my first and only successful attempt at background sponging anything!! I'm so proud of myself - LOL
