This technique was a part of the class I taught on the weekend… we add a series of 4 new 6×6 technique pages to our album in these Technique Classes.
I know you've probably seen, heard, read, all about these neat watercolor pansies….. I just had to try them… I took Dawn O's advise and used the SHIMMERY WHITE CARDSTOCK and Aquapainters, since they are GREAT for watercoloring….
the super cool trick about these is ….. they are made with 2 BUTTERFLY PUNCH OUTS !! TOO FUNNNN!!
WATERCOLORED PANSY TECHNIQUE
Because these take a little while to make, I wanted to make the background REALLY simple… it features the new digital download for My Digital Studio called SUMMER SPLENDOR DSP. Did you know you can still use these GREAT graphic files even if you don't own My Digital Studio!?
I know.. so at first… you don't even see the 2 butterfly punchouts.. do you ?? THEN… you see them… really cool.

I love the background for your card. Do you just print that at home or send it off to the printer SU uses? Also, I made some of these for a card on my blog at http://www.lauriesrubberroom.blogspot.com and found that you can dry them quicker with the heat tool without changing the effect.

Thanks for sharing the how to and materials that go with it. Johanna
This idea with the Butterfly Punch is so neat. My ladies at my stamp class love this new watercolor since making the Fifth Ave Floral using the same technique. Thanks to Dawn O’s idea, and so many others that I’ve seen here and there.
