Wouldn't it be wonderful to open a gift and have gorgeous, colorful butterflies burst out?! What an amazing surprise! That's sort of how my card came about. I love playing with watercolors because the finished product is always a surprise to me!
For my card, I chose two STAMPlorations sets: Winged Things and Sketched Simple Gift. The sentiment is from Avery Elle.
Thanks to these challenges for the inspiration:
(My card looks like it's "exploding" with color and butterflies!)
