The background is fabulous with your two watercolour images, Christine. What a great way to add without activating your watercolouring. I use those acrylic blocks all the time, but not for what they were intended. :) Your images are lovely and you've coloured them beautifully. Grea work! xx

This has to be one of my favourites of your recent cards - love the layering of the apple blossom and the butterflies. Perfect soft background!

Gorgeous butterflies and apple blossom flowers, Christine! Your watercoloring, using both metallic watercolor paints and watercolor pencils, is excellent. I also love the visual texture of the Lost Shadow background. This card is truly beautiful!

These butterflies look like they are dancing around a branch with flowers. I also admire the delicate background, everything fits together beautifully
