I created a background by repeat over stamping Rubber Stampede wood mounted stamps using Distress inks onto A5 watercolour card.  They're old stamps I have owned for over twenty years.  I love these designs and can't bear the thought of replacing them

I used another piece of watercolour card to stamp the Clarity Crafts Chinese Lanterns using Versafine Clair Nocturne ink.   I trimmed the excess then stamped the Clarity Crafts sentiment using Versafine Clair Glamorous ink and trimmed.  

I coloured the Chinese Lanterns and the sentiment with watercolour paints and left to dry.  I trimmed each panel and matted onto Sizzix Textured card.  I die cut John Next Door two part leaf dies and glued them together.  I added Tonic Studios Nuvo Clear Glitter Drops to the leaves to make them look wet.  I also die cut Crafter's Companion and Tonic butterfly dies from snippets and coloured with watercolours.  

I glued the background onto an A5 card then added the Chinese Lanterns and the sentiment using foam pads.  I arranged the leaves at the bottom of the card and added Tonic Studios Nuvo Drops to finish.   Back soon x
