I flipped this sketch 180 degrees to start. Then I used a negative Cricut cut lying on my desk as my focal point. It is from the new Close to My Heart Artistry Cricut Collection.
I had experimented with my CTMH watercolor paints and brushes a couple of weekends ago, so I figured it was time to use the results finally in a project. This is the swatch of watercolor paper that I started with...
I just lined up the portion I wanted to show through the butterfly and used another section to back them both.

| Love how the banner image fit this sketch so perfectly! See the bit of sparkle in the sentiment? I added a splatter of Grey Enamel Gems too. |
The sentiment and star images are all found on the limited edition Hello, Life My Acrylix from Close to My Heart. It is one of 3 coordinating stamp sets released for the celebration of National Stamping Month in September. I absolutely love the chevron images on the sets! I even used the heart as a little accent on the inside of my card...
That was some MUCH needed paper therapy...and I feel the need for a bit more coming on... Thanks for stopping in to see my card, and have a sparkly weekend!
