Butterfly Splatters



You know when you have an idea for a card and it just falls together?  So that's not what happened with this one :)  Oh, I had an idea of what I wanted to do, but my brain and my hands had different ideas and wouldn't cooperate.  It took me several tries, but I finally compromised.





I've been dabbling with water coloring and it's so fun to play with inks -- you never know exactly what will be created!

Thanks so much for these challenges for the inspiration (hope the ideas of my brain and hands do the challenges some justice!)

    Kathy, this is delightful! Such a happy birthday card. I love the contrast between the bright, bold colours, and black accents, and the sentiment in white. Thanks for joining in the fun at Just Add Ink this week!
