This image is from one of the 25th year anniversary stamp sets Best of Butterflies. I thought I’d play around with some watercoloring – trying to decide which way to go with the colors. Happy endings! I just decided to leave it as is.
I stitched around the water color paper, added some splatters and……you guessed it…… some shimmer mist. Just a bit. Then I mounted it on another piece of water color paper. So far, this is my favorite “Best of” stamp!
Supplies

Remember to save your “25” sticker in each “Best of” set. It’s a little tiny sticker on the image sheet – but you want to keep them. When you’ve collected 6 of them you can choose a $14.95 set for free. And we all love free stamps! Hugs, Fran
This is also my favorite “Best Of” stamp sets. Your water coloring is beautiful, I love water coloring, it’s my favorite way to add color to my projects. I don’t own a sewing machine but I’ve seen a lot of cards that use it and the result is amazing. Thank you for sharing your beautiful card, Fran.
