Lost Lagoon LoVe

I was gifted this big beautiful die cut. So, I decided to watercolor it, and use it as a focal point for my card front. Thoughts? 

Stamps:

   Papillon Potpourri

Paper:

   Lost Lagoon A-2

   All ABloom DSP 5-1/4 x 4, Scraps

   Basic Black 4 x 3-3/4

   Basic White 5-1/4 x 4 (Inside)

Ink:

   Daffodil Delight

   Island Indigo

   Lost Lagoon

   Pistachio Pudding

Technique:

   Watercolor

Accessories:

   Elegant Butterfly Punch

   Mini Glue Dots

   Basic Rhinestone Jewels

   Adhesive

   Sequins (Verve Stamps)

First, I watercolored the die cut and adhered it to the Basic Black panel, and then onto the center of the All ABloom designer series paper panel.

I then adhered the designer series paper panel onto the Lost Lagoon card front.

Next, I punched out a couple of butterflies from the designer series paper, using the Elegant Butterfly Punch, and adhered them onto the card front as shown above.

Lastly, I added some rhinestones to the butterflies, sequins to the card front, and adhered the Basic White panel to the inside of the card.
