Less is More

Good Evening, rather late tonight, it's my last night to be able to craft late into the evening as Robert returns from his golfing holiday tomorrow afternoon.  It will be nice to see him, but I will soooo miss being able to get up in the morning an not find a messy kitchen and living room lol.  Honestly, he makes more mess than  my three daughter did, when they were small, and that is saying something  :)  Onto my card, it is for this week's Less is More Challenge which  is Butterflies.  I bought some cheap shimmery paint in Tesco recently and have been playing this afternoon.  The butterfly is a Cuttlebug die, cut from a piece of card that I had brayered with two colours of the paint, and then put through the matching embossing folder.  The backing card was another  piece brayered with just one colour.  The panel was stamped using an Anita's background stamp, stamped with Brilliance Pearlescent Purple and the sentiment is from a Woodware Clear Magic set, stamped with the same inkpad.  Unfortunately, the colours don't look as if they match in the pic but they certainly do IRL, probably due to the lighting.  The top of the butterfly matches the backing card and the bottom of the butterfly matches the ink pad.

I hope you like my card and many thanks for visiting today.
