Hi Everyone, and fellow Teapotters...
I started out doing a WC Splash, and then covered it with vellum...(all that work for nothing)...lol, I die ctr the branches,(beige) then rolled over them with a roller ball to make them 3D, and then swiped a brown ink over top...makes them look real...i never thought of doing that before...then I die cut the butterflies and glued them on...then I tried to swipe all of the glue strings off...lol..they really show up well in pictures.... glued on the hello...which wanted to curl up for some reason...tried glueing it down with glue gun...and missed some strings...whew...then punched out some timy buds and glued on...
I think I wanna keep my card,...wahhhh...lol
Oh...this is for the challenge of two by two...the animals coming out of the ark...think my butterflies were right after the dove!!
Thanks for looking e1...Hugs

I'm sure it wasn't all that work for nothing, I bet the vellum laid over the watercolour has a fabulous soft Spring look to it. And I just love your pink butterflies - it makes me think of cherry blossom that has transformed!!

This is wonderful! The sky looks so soft and dreamy, and the blossoming branch is lovely! And what better addition than sparkly pink butterflies and a sentiment to match?
