Oh... I did a little watercoloring. You may be thinking my colors aren't as "bold" as the colors in the swatch, but watercoloring softens the colors somewhat. Stamped the largest butterfly from WPlus9's Flora & Fauna 2 onto TH watercolor paper- I like that way it absorbs the colors. Added a sentiment from Strictly Sentiments 5. The background was created using Fresh Cut Florals. The layout is this week's CAS(e) this sketch.

Oh, wow!! You are going to make me buy that set now! That butterfly is exquisite and I'm also really loving the background!
So pretty Vickie. Love the water colored butterfly. It looks awesome the way the colored blended on the image.
Oh Vickie - Your butterfly is gorgeous. It almost makes me a little sad that those beautiful creatures won't be around for much longer...seasons change, don't they? I will miss them, but your card is an amazing reminder of these lovely icons of spring and summer. Amazing job.
OOOOOOOOOOOH! This is SO beautiful! First off, I LOVE your layout. The background is SO soft and beautiful, and the butterfly really pops! LOVELY!!!
You have created such a gorgeous butterfly, Vickie...it looks fabulous and I love the background you created, too!!!
Your watercoloring is stunning, girlie! As is the card--gorgeous work!
Ok. Tell the truth. Did you swat that butterfly out of the sky, 'cause it looks so darn real! This is gorgeous stuff, my dear! LOVE it!
