I have been wanting to try Heather's beautiful Vintage Watercolour tutorial, so this morning I stamped the butterfly, flowers and leaves onto post-it notes and cut them out at work this morning.
I didn't mean for my flowers to have such a regular outline across the page - lesson learned.
I followed the tutorial, also spattered some cream Twinkling H2Os over it. Distressed the edges and added it to a cream base, line frame drawn in dark brown and then gone over again with a gold gel pen.

Lovely vintage. I like the small squares, I think it is a stamp. I really like how small it is. It gives great texture to this piece and doesn't overwhelm it.

The off thegrid makes such a great looking bg for your funky flowers. I was too busy to read the tutorial, but now that I see thus card tgat I like so much, I will have to go check out the directions. You are filling in for Dolly the insomniac dog...I might have to get up at 2am just to find time to look at the tutirial. Faved.

Now that the weekend is here, I am finally getting to see this beauty!! Wow, you really zeroed in on the vintage look with these flowers and the 'Off the Grid' background stamp - also love the gold line framing to really set it off!!
