Creative Blessings: Painted Butterflies (Altenew)

We have a not-so-secret formula for our challenge this week. The formula is to use 1 Sentiment 2 Layers and 3 Words. Here is a sneak peek of my card.

Clicky to head to the challenge forum to see what the rest of the design team did for the Formula 1-2-3 challenge and then be sure to play along with us. Not yet a member? Sign up now at http://catherinepooler.com/sntop

I caved. I've been resisting for months because I wasn't happy with my previous watercolor purchases. But, I finally decided to give the Zig markers a try. WOW! What a difference!!! Night and day difference. These are what I have been looking for. Vibrant colors, smooth blend and beautiful reaction with water.

There is so much you can do with these markers, and I just barely scratch the surface in my video below.
