I painted US white cardstock with Twinklin H2O's, then stamped butterflies and Many Thanks in Basic Black, framed in Basic Black and Lovely Lilac, and mounted on Bliss Blue cardstock.

Another great Twinkling card! Can you please explain how you did this background, and which colors you used? I have all the H20 colors and would love to try this. Thanks. Linda

Happy to share -- I "watercolored" a full sheet to use as background, then cut it into smaller pieces as needed, to stamp on. I don't remember exactly what colors I used, but I tend to favor the blues/purples/greens, and probably used Sweet Lavender, Blue Ice, Majestic or Mystic Blue, Periwinkle, Forest Green or Douglas Fir, and either Icicles or Oyster, plus one or two of the iridescent colors like Violet, Blue or Green. Just play around with ones in those color families and see what you come up with. (That's half the fun of the Twinklin H2O's, isn't it?) And...I'll bet that new SU Aqua Painter would work absolutely great with them!!! Thanks for your interest, and have fun.
