Welcome to MDS Monday, where today we are working with Tami's sketch and playing with your choice of MDS Watercolour options.
This card certainly evolved over time. I began trying to create a flower with a collection of watercolour brush strokes overlapping in a circle. It worked out okay, but I wasn't that thrilled with it in the end. I then decided to stay more true to Tami's sketch and laid down the large watercolour wash from "Beautiful Today". I walked away from it for a while, came back to the computer and by accident discovered what a coloured wash looked like on a coloured background. I think you'd be hard pressed to get this effect in real life.
I decided that a white Swallowtail would be the best addition.
Accidents can be a good thing - and easy to deal with on MDS because there is no wasted paper.
So, here is Tami's sketch and I hope you give one of the watercolour options a try. Be sure you link your creation back to the MDS Monday blog so we can take a peak.
Have fun, and thanks for dropping by.

Joan, your card is gorgeous!!! I never would have thought to add an orange wash over a purple background, but it turned out AMAZING! And, it ties in so well with the strip of paper on the far left. I love the butterfly too. This is so, so pretty.
I just love that butterfly, Joan! The colours you've used are great - I love the yellow over-layed on the purple.
So pretty Joan. A few years back I did a bleaching technique card using a butterfly stamped in bleach onto concord crush, and the butterfly turned yellow. your card reminded me of that. Fun!
Beautiful Joan! I love the different colors you used in your background. Beth's right... could just as well be bleaching.
