A Backyard Hello

Photo Details

Poster: stampin'nana

For today's Sketch and this week's Color Throwdown: Lucky Limeade, Melon Mambo, Silver Metallic. I water colored my images using blender pens and markers, sponged around the sentiment, Dp and flower panels, outlined the flower image in sand, added some ribbon and cording, used a sticky dot for the butterfly so he could be hovering. Thanks for stopping in today! ~Roberta

Lovely watercoloring on this (I like the texture of the watercolor paper,too) and I like how you added the sentiment as the small square piece and the butterfly as the round one in the sketch....very clever.

Beautiful card, Roberta. I imagine you used watercolor paper or another paper with such a wonderful texture. Your watercolored flowers are exquisitely done. The whole card has a clean and bright look.

A gorgeous card, Roberta. Love your beautifully watercolored flowers and butterfly. I have yet to try watercoloring, but I sure love the results. (thank you so much for your kind comments on my card - so appreciated)!
