Birthday Butterflies

I have another birthday card to share today...this one features a trio of butterflies (from the 'Penpattern Butterflies' set by Stampendous). I stamped the butterflies (along with a sentiment from the 'Sketched Flowers' set by Simon Says Stamp) on to a piece of watercolour paper using Versamark Ink, then heat embossed them in white. I used three Distress Inks (Picked Raspberry, Seedless Preserves & Blueprint Sketch) to watercolour over the top, then distressed the edges a little and added a few sequins for a touch of sparkle.
