Here is my card:
I am a huge fan of Debby Hughes-Lime Doodle Designs. She has a unique and beautiful technique of no-line watercoloring. I gave it a try. Of course it is no where near her quality, but I think my card turned out quite pretty.
I definitely enjoyed creating it!
I definitely enjoyed creating it!
I stamped the butterfly images onto watercolor paper with Antique Linen Distress Ink. I painted the images with Gansai Tambi water colors. I splattered the butterflies with the paint colors, but I also mixed some Perfect Pearls to some water, and splattered that as well. Debby always does this to her watercolor images to add sparkle! Well...I wanted even more sparkle, so I added some sequins, too!
I hope I have inspired you to join us here at
The style of my card would be considered Clean & Simple:
One main image
Lots of open space
Limited layers and embellishements
Quick & easy to create
