The Card Concept/Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge

When we were at the craft retreat, it was quite funny how one person would use a particular stamp and then others would see it and ooh and ahh - the result being that you will probably see the same images in quite a few cards over the coming weeks! This card was made using one of Joy Taylor's Darkroom door Stamps.

Time out Challenge #2





The image is called Patchwork Butterfly I used inktense pencils to colour it, then swiped the whole butterfly with versamark, embossed with sticky powder and covered in glitter.
Once the butterfly was finished I looked around for some dp to match, but in the end, I decided to make my own background, by white embossing the Kaisercraft image and then colouring with inktense, distress inks and spray mist.
I am entering this in the SSS Monday challenge - Anything Goes.
I'm also entering this in The Card Concept - Butterfly theme (clean & layered/I guess).
ETA I am also entering this in the Time Out challenge #2 

So as you can see, I've had a very inky day!
