I covered watercolor paper with Distress inks in purple and yellow. Next, I spritzed a stencil and laid it down on the paper (wet side down). The water reacts with the inks and makes this cool pattern. Once dry, I stamped and embossed the butterfly. I added sequins for a nice final touch.
The CYS group can be located here. List mom Barb had the brilliant idea- lets use our stash items- with a monthly theme, I am sure finding no shortage of items to use in my creative space for this challenge...!!! Even those in the 'get rid of' pile....... HERE is a link to all of the August cards the group members posted for this challenge.

Gorgeous background!
Shelly, this is gorgeous. Great background and embossing. I know what you mean about the stash, hehe.
Shelly, what a gorgeous background! I ma going to have to try this out. Beautiful card and I love the sparkle of the sequins. Distress inks are so fun to play with and I love your color combo. Have a great week. We are off on vacation. Tom says I need to get away from the grand babies for a while and Mom and Dad need to learn to do it on their own. Guess they are going to get a crash course. LOL!
