I made a watercolor print and an alcohol ink print during the Kathy's (The Daily Marker) last 30 Day Coloring Challenge. I combined leftover pieces of both for my backgrounds and added new butterflies cut from watercolor printed paper. I glued the "acetate" panels just on the left side and let static do the rest to hold them onto the watercolor paper - thought it gave another dimension to layer the prints. And if you haven't tried any of the sentiment strips sheets from Simon Says Stamp, give them a whirl - so quick and easy!!
Thanks to Dawn & to Simon Says Stamp for fun challenges and thanks to you for stopping by! Have a crafty day!!

Both are gorgeous - terrific treatments for the butterfly motif.
Gorgeous cards Linda. Those panels are fabulous and a perfect landing spot for those big bold butterflies.
both cards are just gorgeous, linda!
Both cards are beautifully artistic, Linda! Great use of your left over print pieces! Hope you sister's dog has a successful result from the ACL surgery. We had it done for our Keesha dog years ago. It was very stressful trying to keep her from harming the surgery, but at least she was crate trained before that. It ended up fine, but hope never to go through it again! Fritz got a good report--very mild heart valve problem & he has no restrictions or meds--hurrah!
Hi Linda,
I am so chuffed that you came by to leave compliments on my card. I am your latest follower and I think your cards are brilliant.
Happy crafting,
Monica
