The WPlus9 Watercolour Anemones set is another set that I love but haven't used much yet. It's a really beautiful building stamp set.

When I started to design this card, I had planned to follow a challenge sketch. I'd chosen the paper, die cut the butterflies, and cut a card base to size.

I found… Continue reading September Challenge
