Happy Mail Swap

The product I used was watercolors. I thought that the transparent look of watercolor paint would make a good butterfly and the butterfly definitely is light and flies in the air.

I wet watercolor paper with clean water, then I added a wash of paint. While it was still wet, I used a more concentrated amount of paint on my brush and splattered it into the panel. This is what I used for all my butterflies. I did add stickles to the spots on the butterflies. Before I sent it, the butterflies were a little dimensional, but I bet they flattened in the mail.

The background is a large stamp over patterned paper.
