I really like the blues and purple together, and came up with this card:
First I made a smooshed background on watercolour paper with various
Distress Oxide inks to get the shades of blue. Then stamped the grass, smaller flowers, and
butterfly. I then sponged the purple and green (and brown for the flower centre) through
a cone flower stencil, cleaned the stencil, and went over it again with
clear embossing paste.
I added a narrow black border, a sentiment, and a TH clipping sticker.

I hope everyone had a good weekend!

Ink - Archival Jet Black, various Distress Oxide inks
Paper - white and black cs, watercolour paper
Size - A2
Accessories - clear embossing paste, cone flower stencil, TH clipping sticker
