HSL Watercolour & Layers

Hello, thank you for your visit. This post is a sad one for me, it is my last one on the design team,
because my six month term is up. I would like to thank Kylie for the wonderful experience and
opportunity for accepting me  on the team, enabling me to showcase on her wonderful blog.
Today at Happy Little StampersWatercolour Challenge -
the challenge for June is Watercolours + optional Layers
 We look forward to seeing  your watercolour project,  Please visit the main blog
to check the details and be sure not to miss the wonderful inspiration created by the
design team.
                                                                    

My card is a white 5" x 7" I ran a TH Oxide  around

the edges to give the appearance of a coloured card.

On a piece of white card I added Distress Oxides as

watercolours, when dried, added small stamps to

add to the background. The large stamped image is

'Tall Daisies' by Woodware Stamps.

I stamped again onto previously watercolored card,

using dies I cut and positioned 3 small squares, 

to add to the flower.

To add further layers I stamped 3 butterflies

onto the same prepared card.

Stay safe and stay well. 

My thanks again to Kylie and the team.
