I positioned the washi tape then stamped the butterflies. Next I sponged the grass and clouds. I colored the butterflies then removed the washi tape and put it alongside the washi tape area that was white. I sponged that area with daffodil ink then stamped my text. Unfortunately the stamp wobbled and part of it didn't come out. I wrote it in and will probably add paper to this and try the saying again to be able to use this card. Thanks for the fun challenge Joan.

This is so very pretty! I had a card last week with a smear in the last word so I redid that word in a larger size and a different font on separate pc of paper so that it looked intentional. (Oh, we are such wizards in this game...lol)

We all feel your pain-so frustrating when a sentiment gets smudged-easily fixable though and definitely worth it with the gorgeous sponging and beautifully colored butterflies!
