One seed can start a garden, one candle can light a room, one step can begin a journey, one conversation can start a friendship, one smile from a handmade card can lift one's SPIRIT!

PTI Anniversary Day 8 ~ BLUE Ombre Challenge


I used some watercolor paper and brushed some reinkers onto the paper using Spring Rain, Blueberry Sky and Enchanted Evening.
I stamped and did some masking of two butterflies from Beautiful Butterflies (I used Spring rain and Blueberry sky). The sentiment is from Wishes Come True.
I added a strip of dark blue metallic paper under the butterfly.
I guess you can tell I am loving Maile's 'style'!

Stunning colors and blended so beautifully. I love how you added that strip of metallic paper along the bottom. I wanted to tell you how pretty your cards were from the Online Class. I scrolled back through and loved your work.
