Butterfly Effect

A quick post of a card I made using a Sheena Douglass stamp called Butterfly Effect from the A Little Bit Sketchy range.


I stamped the Sheena – A Little Bit Sketchy – Butterfly Effect stamp on Neenah card with VersaMark ink and embossed with black detail powder.

The butterflies are coloured with Spectrum Noir pens. The colours I used are :- 
TB3, 4, 6  EB1, 2, 5, 6, 8  GB1, 8, 10  DR2, 3  CR8, 9, 11  OR1, 2

The background is Centura Pearl Snow White Hint of Gold card, embossed with
Embossalicious 8x8 Regency Swirls folder,
and the edges inked with Distress inks– Rusty Hinge and Barn Door.

The sentiment is from the same stamp set.

Hope you like,
