Okay watercolor, I love you too.

  Hello late night crafters!
 
I have been working like a mad crazy person this weekend. Don't you love when co-workers call off and you have mandatory overtime? Yeah, me either.
 
 I mean, I just barely had time to play along with the current Paper Smooches challenge. Don't they know what's important?!
 
Seriously though, I absolutely love their inspiration photo and could not pass it up.

before I show my card I have a confession. I did not love watercolor. I know it's everywhere and super trendy and the cards are like OMG but it just didn't work out for me. The colors were too soft or I couldn't get the technique right. and then, oh baby, and then I watched this video from Dawn Woleslagle. It was crafty life changing. So here I am with my first real watercolor card :)
 
 
 
I stamped the little butterfly from Botanicals 1 with various distress inks and just added water. So simple but I love the look of it :)
I have a wedding next weekend and I thought it would make a beautiful card for such an occasion. The sentiment is from Simply Said.
 
Thanks for dropping in! Now I've got to go link this thing up before it closes!!
 
XoXo
