Color Throwdown

Here is a card for a couple of challenges!
I used a sketch and a set of colours and this is what emerged.
            
The colours are from Color Throwdown and the sketch from Freshly Made sketches
I used a background stamp from WOW embossed with three different embossing powders, Antigua Breeze and Regular Olive powders from WOW and Frayed Burlap distress embossing powder from Ranger.
The die cut frames are a mix of Lil Inkers and Simon Says Stamp, the sentiment from Tattered Lace and the butterfly from Memory Box.
In fact the green looks a lot darker in this picture than it really is, this is the second picture I took but it still seems a little dark despite a little jiggery pokery in Picasa.
