This project was so much fun to make. I haven't done much with watercolors in a very long time and I just received my Penny Black floral dies. I couldn't wait to get to cutting and glueing these together in a thick stack for watercoloring. I chose to use my Zig Clean Color Brushes.

After coloring the framed floral image I used a Metallic Copper gel pen to line the leaves and edge the frame. To add more subtle metallic shimmer I added kosher salt to the blue background which added to the paint texture and leaves a soft shimmer. 

I chose the Little B Right justified sentiment to line up along the framed flowers and left the sentiment unpainted. I cut a small butterfly in copper shimmer paper and added three tiny rhinestones to it.
