Hi! This is a double challenge card. 1st it is for today`s Way to Use It challenge which was brought to us by Julia. She wanted us to use paint. Read about it here. Forums at Splitcoaststampers
The 2nd challenge is for Flutterby Wednesday which you can read about here. http://flutterbywednesdays.blogspot....esday-111.html
So I watercolored with real paints. The cute image is from Penny Black. I cut out using a Circle Nestie and sponged my sky and ground. I then popped it up. I tore my Memory Box DP with a deckled ruler and used half on the front of the card and half on the inside. I used a strip on my envelope as well. I added tiny gems from Peggy (thanks again gf!) for her buttons and as an accent on the circle. My butterfly is a SU Sizzix Cut and Emboss Die. I stamped just a note from Memory Box. Thanks for looking and have a great day! I want to do another but have to do some weeding first!

I love when you stop by!!

I am such a BIG fan of your cards and this is just another great addition to your awesome gallery. LOVE the colors and the design. I did not even know you could watercolor with real paints. I see the great results but can only imagine the mess I would make!!! tfs.

What a sweetie pie little character! Those shoes are a panic...where do you buy them!!! I just love the little bod hanging below the dress and the hat....aw....off to school I guess...hey, maybe even church/synagogue or the like! Your paper behind is SO perfect for this and Judy, I had NO idea you could water color with folk art paint!!! You taught me something! I have always used mine straight on. Thank you so much for sharing and for your description of how you created this. It is just SO precious! LOVING GOD, Samara
