I love images that are watercolored but not quite perfect.  The more artistic the look, the more I love it.  I didn’t spend a ton of time on coloring, just added a few shading areas after the first full coverage application. Do you like to watercolor?  Want to give it a try?  Aqua Painters are my free hoot loot for the month of April.  Place an order of $50+ using this month’s host code and you will receive them in May! Best time to try something, when it doesn’t cost anything!

Isn’t the elephants behind just the cutest?  I love that when you open the card to see the inside, you are greeted by the backside! That is my favorite feature of the A Little Wild Bundle.  Don’t forget, if you order this bundle before May 31st, you will receive 10% off! When the new catalog launches, the bundled price will no longer be available.
