Beauty Abounds with rainbow watercolour

It's seems ages since I have played along with any of my favourite challenge blogs - they are a great way to get inspiration if you feel you are lacking ideas, sometimes a glance at a sketch or colour theme just "hits the spot" and your mind kick started with creativity.

I've combined 2 challenges in my project today, rainbows always put a smile on my face, and the offset panel in the sketch caught my eye too!

                       

I started with my rainbow of colour and created a watercolour background using watercolour paper, I was quite liberal with the amount of water I had on the paper, and once my colours had blended I blotted the excess with a paper towel.

I heat embossed the sentiment, then die cut the butterfly on the top of the large dies, trimming the bottom, then added Frost White Shimmer Paint to the Heather Highland die cut, then slightly offset the Basic Black die cut, you can see how much shimmer I added in the close up below:

To finish, I added some Iridescent sequins for some extra bling, I love the way these change in the light, working perfectly with the watercolour background.
