Papertrey Ink June Blog Hop







I made this card so I could participate in this months Papertrey Ink Blog Hop.  The artwork chosen as the inspiration for the June Blog Hop is beautiful (see it at the Papertrey Ink Blog).
To me the art looks other worldly and the images seem to be drifting and floating.  The inspiration piece reminded me of the butterfly's fluttering around my garden. I embossed the stamped images on water colored card stock and water  colored around them.  I spritzed my stamped panel with a shimmer spritz several times after the watercolors had dried.  I let it dry overnight under some heavy objects to flatten it out than die cut and stitched the sentiment.
