Butterfly Thank You

Darnell is having another of her NBUS challenges, a great incentive to get out those "just had to have" but never used stuff I have in my stash.  The optional theme is to use coloured pencils on kraft, something I thought was only worth doing if you had good artists pencils, but I gave it a try with cheapies and made 2 cards and a mini set with very simple colouring . . . . and I think they came out ok  :  )

The first is a one layer card, something I very rarely do, using my NBUS Hero Arts Antique Background stamp.

Cardstock - kraft

Stamp - Hero Arts Antique Background

Ink - Ranger Tim Holtz Walnut Stain distress ink
