Loose watercolouring

Well at least its my version of loose watercolouring.  I did find it a little hard to go out of the lines so my "loose" is a little deliberate.  It was fun to do though and I am sure the more you practice the looser you become.

It's an anything goes challenge this week at Paper Smooches.  Both the butterflies and the sentiment are from Paper Smooches, flap happy and uplifters stamp sets.  The background butterflies are simply stamped, using MFT kraft hybrid ink and watercoloured.  I then die cut one and added gold foil around the edge.  I also cut a separate one from gold foil to place underneath, so you get a glimpse of gold under the wings. Finally stamped and foiled the little hearts and picked out sequins in matching colours ( from a few Pretty Pink Posh mixes) and added them here and there.

I had fun making this card so hope you like it, I do, however, think it looks better in person.

Karen, this is really pretty and very artistic. Lovely colour scheme - just perfect for brightening the rather wet and windy day we are having here!
