Today's card features an 'oldie, but a goodie' stamp from Indigo Blu called 'Big Butterfly'. I stamped it on to watercolour paper using Versamark Ink, then heat embossed it using 'Metallic Bronze Sparkle' embossing glitter from WOW. I watercoloured it using Distress Inks (Cracked Pistachio, Peacock Feathers, Uncharted Mariner & Gathered Twigs), then stamped a sentiment (from the 'Signature Greetings' set by Memory Box) in black ink, heat embossed it using clear embossing powder, before splattering some more of the Distress Inks over the top. I distressed the edges a little, then added it to a kraft card blank.
