I broke out my inks, brush and water to do a little watercoloring for the back of the butterfly and added a touch of gold glitter and sequins. The sentiment is from Papertrey Ink and the butterfly dies are from Memory Box.
Here are the wonderful challenges that inspired this card...
(my style is clean and layered)
(watercolor technique)
(guess Mr. Butterfly started to fly off the page...he's a little high based on the sketch!)
Love the combination of all of the challenges and the texture of the embossing folders looks amazing!!
