A bit of a royal mess, but a garden, none the less! I had fun using tons of media here. 1st time using the alcohol ink transfer method using "Lift It" ink. Used the Scan n Cut to make a mask for the crown and then went to town making up foliage and a background with distress crayons and watercolor paints. Embossed the sentiment and added the bug, highlighting his outfit with assorted pens. Added gold Wink of Stella to the crown and clear on other parts for added shimmer. I made such a pile on my work area. Another royal mess!

The crown came out beautifully - I was wondering if someone would include one. And the little bug is totally enchanting. So important for a garden, too. LOL at your "NOT what you thought was watercolour paper". I try hard to put half and quarter pieces back into the pad when I cut a sheet, but sometimes I find pieces on top of my stack of pads and wonder what on earth paper it actually is. The finer hot press ones, it's hard to tell when they don't have the expected watercolour paper texture. It all seems to have worked out well for you, though.

It takes a royal mess to make a Royal card! This turned out great. I think the Royalty lost their crown while romping through the garden. I've found it laying in the grass!
