Bright Butterfly

I saw a painting on Pinterest and thought it would make an incredible card.  Quite timely as I had just received a piece of sheet music from a high school buddy--kismet.  I copied the music onto lightweight watercolor paper.  That was easy.  In my head I had planned to use a Memory Box butterfly die and then realized the darn thing was too small so I used my Cameo.  I used rubber cement to mask off the butterfly then applied Peerless watercolors all over the place.  Love!  Rubbing off the rubber cement was fun too.  Sticky but not stick-aye.  The embossed sentiment and enamel dots finished it off.  I'm going to have a hard time giving this one away!

The Details:  Peerless watercolors, Avery Elle sentiment, Versamark, Stampendous white embossing powder, Recollections black and white 110lb cardstock, Cameo, rubber cement, Enamel Accents
