Welcome - It's good to be back here - I have been MIA as we have been visiting some very important little people - our grandchildren.
This card was made in a hurry with some of the 'experiments' that had accumulated on my desk. The most difficult part was selecting the background paper and card!

I started with the brightly coloured background panel
This was made using watercolour crayons on watercolor paper, heavily spritzed with water, then sprayed with lemon glimmer mist.
The butterfly was cut using a Marianne die, and had Kindy Glitz and pearls added.
The sentiment was gold embossed on a scrap of the water colour block. Both layers were mounted on black card before being layered over dp.
The ribbon was embellished with triple bows of ecru pearle thread. As I do not have a bow-easy, i use my fingers to make the loops - fiddly, but it works.
I love the way this card turned out. I am linking this to:
