The inspiration piece for this month's blog hop at Papertrey Ink is so lovely, soft and springlike.
It was a great color combination for an early April birthday card that I was getting ready to work on when this inspiration piece appeared. I'd already chose the Bold Blooms watercolor paper by Papertrey Ink, so pulled out my Kuretake watercolors, and mixed up some colors to match.
After it was watercolored, I adhered it to a Memory Box green card, added a gold die cut sentiment that was in my "die cuts to use" box, and added a few sequins.
The last touch was to add the butterfly from the inspiration piece. I used an old Martha Stewart punch and a piece of patterned paper with gold dots from the "Fancy That" paper pack by MME. It wasn't quite the right color of pink, so I added a wash of watercolor to it, and now it's just right.

I'm also linking this up to the FUSION challenge, Pretty in Pink. I channeled the color and also the blooms!
