You probably can't tell from the picture, but I painted the butterfly with Wink of Stella for some shine, and the card base is sponged with Sahara Sand ink to give a little bit different shade than the interior panel. And I know you can't see it but I stamped the butterfly along the Blackberry Bliss mat, which gives it a nice subtle texture in person.
I got my inspiration from the Just Add Ink challenge:
When I realized this challenge was closing today, I had to make a card for it because that picture is just so beautiful. I used the colors Blackberry Bliss, Crushed Curry, Pretty Peacock, and Sahara Sand for my palette. Totally fall colors, right?
I paired that with the Paper Players sketch challenge:
I've done similar sketches in the past week or two, it's just a classic and I have to play along with every variation on this theme ;)
Two minutes left until I release the Kraken. Have a great day, y'all!
