Norma's workshop was this past Saturday during the local "Scrapmania". We always have such a good time at our workshops. Hi girls!

I decided to show them a little bit of water-coloring this time around using a "Blender Pen" and dipping the pen directly into ink from the ink pads. Did you know that by squeezing the center plastic compartments together before you open the lid of your ink pads, will leave a "well" of ink on the inside of the cover? Slid the cover open so that it remains flat and the lid part without the ink pad on it will have ink for you to dip in.

And did you know the best way to water-color is by using our "Water Color Paper"? The ink just glides so easily. Just take a look:

I stamped the flower images from "Awash with Flowers" first and then water-colored the flowers and added a tint of "Pool Party Ink" and a little bit of "Tempting Turquoise Ink" around the edges to make them pop:

You can't go wrong with white-on-white layers either, so elegant!

I added my own butterfly by stamping the image from "Mixed Bunch Stamp Set" and the Blossoms Punch and then cutting off 2 petals.  I layered over a second flower cut with Early Espresso Cardstock:

Don't you just love our new "Hat Pins"? It makes for the perfect butterfly body.
