I have been having a LOT of fun with watercolour paper and pearlised water since taking Jennifer McGuire’s Inspiration Showcase class… and today’s cards are no exception! I used one of the October Challenge sketches from the Hero Arts Blog for the first one.

This one is for my sister’s birthday which is this Friday.

I also made a bigger version adding purple.

This photos captures some of Perfect Pearls shimmery goodness and how the butterfly wings are raised to add some dimension.

And a different version again. As you can see I was having so much fun! I am entering this one into the CAS-ual Fridays #22 – Feeling Loopy challenge.
