This is my card for my mum, a bit different to my usual and it looked different in my head, but I'm happy with how it turned out! My butterflies are from a new to me brand - Kwan Crafts. I got some dimension to them by gluing them down at the centre and adding foam pads to their wings. I've also highlighted parts of each butterfly with gloss and glitter so there's lots of sparkle. I stencilled some bricks and then some words in the background but it all got a bit lost anyway so I needn't have bothered 😉

This one was inspired by Kristina's beautiful card and tutorial:. https://www.kwernerdesign.com/blog/live-replay-underpainting-watercolor-technique/
A watercoloured background isn't one I'd do often as it's a bit of a faff waiting for it to dry properly and I could have been braver and went a bit darker with my colours, but I love how it turned out and I'll definitely give this technique a go again.

Your cards are both wonderful! I love all the colorful butterflies on the first one, with their wings lifted a bit with the foam pads. It looks like they've either just landed on your card or are beginning to take off. Your watercoloring on the second card looks amazing. I watched Kristina's video on this technique, too, but didn't try it yet. I love the soft colors you used in the background. In fact, I like them better than the darker colors that Kristina used. Glad to hear your hubs got his first jab. Hope you get yours soon, too.
Two really pretty and feminine cards Lynne, many thanks for sharing and joining in with our 'Stamped Image' theme at Allsorts challenge this week.

Your watercolour card looks so super! Great that bit grungy look on flowers! Thank you for joining us at TIME OUT!
Bet your Mum loved her card! And what a lovely watercolour card-I think the background is perfect as it is, darker you would not see the flower colours so well. And I know what you mean about waiting for it to dry-that is why I don't do this often too! Thanks for joining us at Time Out x
Lynne these are amazing and so very beautiful, I love the butterflies and the second one looks fantastic, excellent makes

Ok, so who has kidnapped Lynne?!! Seriously, I thought I had landed on the wrong page, these cards are beautiful. Hope you are doing okay xx
I can see that I need to get back here in a bit! You’ve been SO busy of late, and I’ve been out of town, and missed these fun creations. Had to stop and comment on this card, it is stunning! I simply must get some watercoloring done. It’s so pretty, and I’m so scared of it! Beautifully done, sweet friend!
Such wonderful projects! Thank you for joining us this week at Allsorts Challenge
Hiya, Lynne! Your cards are fabulous, and I'm dead impressed by your watercolour! So pretty! I really ought to dig out my watercolours and have another go. I hope you're keeping well and not affected by Brexit shortages. Take care!
