Today is the last day of the hop, and I really hope that you have been inspired by the various ideas.
For today's card, I used the leftover butterflies (Medium Butterflies DIE255-Y) from this post. I always like it when I save scraps and then actually use them! I did change the butterflies a bit, but I will talk about that a bit more later.
To make the card, I started with 140lb watercolor paper and wet it with a paintbrush. I then added blue and purple watercolor paints and let the colors blend. Once the paint was dry, I stamped the French Letter image (J8778) on top with teal ink. I think a script stamp is a good thing to have on hand for creating backgrounds.
I then decided to stamp the same script onto my butterflies:
My original plan was to place the butterflies randomly on the card, but I decided I liked them better lined up with the background stamp. To finish the card, I added some little rhinestones:
