Butterfly Circle Birthday Card

I have challenged myself to make clean and simple cards.  I have the hardest time making them!  :)  To make it easier and more fun, I'm joining in new to me CAS challenges.  I have never joined the CAS Watercolor challenge before (or since I'm OLD, I don't remember it).  (Wink.)  The current one there is Colorful Butterflies.  I took a piece of watercolor paper and colored it with Ken Oliver Color Burst Watercolor Powders.  After allowing it to completely dry, I used my Silhouette Cameo (#42189 Butterfly Circles) to create the die cut.  I stamped a sentiment inside the die cut circle and added a border strip at the bottom.  For the finishing touch, I added three teal sequins to the center of the butterfly.  I had never tried cutting watercolor paper with my Silhouette Cameo before.  Next time I need to increase the force a little but at least now I know I can do it!  :)  This butterfly will be fluttering by these challenges:


Hope your day is going well....and as always, stay crafty!  :)
