We love seeing what everyone creates. The Beauty of Friendship Stamp Set is a fabulous stamp set and looks so pretty in Blushing Bride to co-ordinate with the Blushing Bride Designer Series Paper from the Gingham Cottage DSP.

I chose to water colour through one of the masks from the Artistic Mix Decorative Masks. Elaine Schader had used it on one of her cards and I just loved it! If you like water colouring then you'll really like this technique and like water colouring, it turns out differently every time you do it! I also water coloured some Shimmery White Paper and die cut three butterflies from the Brilliant Wings Dies to add to the card! I'm going to be playing and creat...
