I LOVE today's color challenge. The combo is so elegant. I knew I wanted to create something with the Butterfly & Blossoms set from Flourishes. It was still uninked and was begging me to be used.
I am having fun coloring in Black and White shades. It looks so pretty! I masked the image after I was done, stamped a sentiment from the set over the flowers and sponged the edges with Old Paper Distress ink.

I love everything about this card. Your choice of colours. The bow tied so prettily, the sentiment tag & the flowers & butterfly done so softly. Just BEAUTIFUL, one of my favourites for sure.
