Krafty Flutterby!!!

 I love this butterfly set from Clearly Besotted Stamps, and thought I would try doing a bit of embossing and inking with it.  The card blank is made from kraft cardstock, and having stamped the butterfly and trail in versamark, I embossed it with clear embossing powder.  I created a mask for it and inked round the butterfly using aged maghogany distress ink.  Finally I stamped the sentiment from the same set.
 

Supplies: 
Colouring medium: distress ink
 Papers: kraft cardstock
Embellishments: 
Tools: Spellbinders circles, cuttlebug

Challenges:
Flutterby Wednesday - kraft cardstock
Addicted to Stamps - Clean and Simple
Little miss Muffet - simplicity 
Less is More - one layer Wings
Just us girls - emboss resist
