This card is for the colour challenge this week over at Nacho Average Challenge. The ladies there are so friendly, you should go try it too!
I have to admit these are not colors I ever use! I've only got ink and paper in these colours, so I had to make do. I ended up "stamping off" the background splotches (stamping first on scrap paper) to give them a more muted colour. I also *never* make cards with so few layers and no embellishments, but it looked done to me. (Plus I had to leave for work!)
Recipe:
Stamps: Papillon Potpourri, Happy Watercolor, Petite Pairs
Ink: Pumpkin Pie, Wild Wasabi, Marina Mist, Basic Grey
Paper: Marina Mist and Whisper White card stock
Misc: NONE!

Hi Emily, I did a minimal-layers card with butterflies too! I think you did a great job with the colors, especially if they're out of your usual comfort zone. Nice use of the swishy watercolor stamp as a base for your butterflies. Thanks for joining the Nachos this week!
