I colored the rose with a mix of Tattered Rose distress ink and water. I then added some darker shading with a Copic Marker. To make the butterflies, I first white embossed the Hero Arts, Flourish Trio onto white cardstock, then used mint colored, Liquid Pearls and water to paint over the image. After wiping off the excess paint and letting it dry, I use a Martha Stewart butterfly punch. I love the shimmer that Liquid Pearls give! The sentiment is from the same Flourishes set. . .don't ya love the elegant font?!
The weather this week has been close to perfect and I've got 3 more days of vacation left. :) Hubby and I are going on my sister's boat tomorrow night with all my siblings and their spouses. Can't wait to see everyone! Then we have a good friend coming to stay for a week, starting on Saturday. Should be a fun weekend before heading back to work.
Hope you all have some fun plans too! Thanks for stopping by! :)

I was going to do that, Donna but Flourishes asks that you do not combine challenges. I'm hoping to use these pretty colors again, on another card, for the PDCC.

Hi Barb! This is such a great design! I love the rose image and how you have balanced it with the curve of butterflies. So pretty.
I just love the sparkle of the butterflies and the way you have placed them on the card. The simplicity of the single rose is stunning
