Lillybet's Papers

The pink scroll is a tag cut from some of the Print Poetry paper.  thanks for looking, Liz

Other layers of plants are in Certainly Celery and the last in Old Olive . the sky is done using Bashful Blue and More Mustard for the golden glow.

The little butterfly is from an old Sale a Bration Set and is bashful blue with Not Quite Navy marker added just around the edge (sort of rock and roll technique). The watercolour panel is then mounted on Not Quite Navy cardstock and sits flat on the Naturals Ivory Card. The sentiment is from Loving Thoughts . ...A...
