Simple butterflies

I was experimenting with inks to see what colours looked well together and rather liked this combination. It's Dusty Concord, and Milled Lavender Distress inks plus Rich Razzleberry from SU. 
I swiped the section which I cut off  the A4 sheet when making this card, with a small section of each of these colours. Then I simply used my SU Embosslit to cut out and emboss the butterflies.
 Double mounted on more scrap card, popped onto 3D pads and embellished with two tiny pearls on each and the card was finished. I've since made another of these cards using different inks, adding a computerised greeting first of all.
Quick and easy!
I'm still recovering from last week's marathon commenting session at "Less is More" (782 entries) Phew!

    Love the shades of the butterfly card and after looking again at the cards you and Mandi did feel that you are right and should have placed the image further into the card so thanks again for your guidance will do it the next time x

    I am surprised that your fingers even work after all that commenting!! Thank you so much!

    I love these three purple butterflies...they are quite dramatic against the white background.
