Whimsy - Rustic Watermill

Wow!  Whimsy Stamps has a truly amazing new release today. I had a hard time choosing which card to feature first. But, choose I did.

I stamped the Rustic Watermill image onto watercolor paper and colored it up with Zigs. I thought I had written those down but can't find the numbers now. :(

Then I cut out the panel with a Wonky Stitched Rectangle Die and distressed the edges--yeah, old school shabby.

I embossed the Butterflies sentiment on a brown Quick Strip and had planned to use just that but it lacked oomph so I added a piece of washi. 

I'm really pleased how this turned out. That washi really tied it all together for me.
