I've just returned from the garden centre and can't help wishing I had a cute little garden to plant up. The fact is I don't, I have a balcony, so I decided to make my own little garden for the Sunday Postcard Art challenge this week.

| Butterfly's are early this year! |
I bought a packet of little bows today and couldn't help thinking they looked like butterflies, so they are! I began by spraying the card with water and then with Dylusions ink in London Blue and Cut Grass. I rolled over the top with a paper towel which transferred some pattern and also some colour.
Once it was dry I used a baby wipe to remove colour through a flower stencil and then stamped some grasses and small flowers using London Fog Memento Ink.
I finished up by attaching the buttons and the bow and then drawing a trail for the butterfly using a Sakura Gelly Roll pen in clear star. I love these pens.
Thanks as always for taking a look, it's much appreciated. Check out the other art at SPA.
Lovely colors in this!
