Butterfly effect

Photo Details

Poster: wanderlust

I cased this card from an OLD SU! catalog, but the stamp set is Martha Stewart. I would make a few changes, but for my first attempt, I like it. A good any occasion, male or female card. TFL.

Thanks for such positive comments! I only started adding my cards to SCS today. I stamped the butterfly first on the vanilla paper. Then stamped again and colored in using watercolor pencils and SU blender pen. I tried to choose colors that would be vibrant and that I had colors to use when blocking out. then I just cut out portions, blocked, and moved around the original butterfly until the lines matched up. Hope this makes sense.
Thanks again for the positive comments. Kind of validates the amount of time I spend making cards! : )
