These are my favorite colors together. I used a stencil and applied some Lavender Liquid Pearls with a palette knife on the upper left corner. The butterfly was stamped on a watercolor background I had made and fussy cut.

Liquid Pearls - Lavender

Hi and welcome to my blog. I hope you all are keeping cool! I am sharing a "cool" card in my punches series today.

I added the cute fish stamps from Close to my Heart and a hello die cut from Karen Burniston.

Die:  Hello - Karen Burniston
Punch:  EK Success

Thanks so much for stopping by. Have a wonderful day and keep cool!
