One of the sets I got during Sale-a-Bration was Kindness Matters. I'm not sure how I passed by it so many times, and I'm stunned that it didn't retire. These little butterflies are perfect for watercoloring, so I got out my aquapainters and went to town. I used Crumb Cake, Perfect Plum, and Elegant Eggplant for the butterflies, and added in some Always Artichoke on the flowers. I kind of wish I had worked in some Elegant Eggplant card stock somewhere...I think that one extra color is what this card is missing. And I should have sponged over the embossed flowers a bit, too (and yes, that's a retired embossing folder I used here...oops!) Can you tell I'm not crazy about this card? I think it has potential, but it just missed the mark. I might have to try again on this one, but I at least wanted to share it!
