MMSC16

Here's my card for the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge #16 found HERE. This sketch really had me stumped for a while, but I finally came up with this card. I embossed the background with a Cuttlebug embossing folder in dark gray cardstock. The card base is black. The 3 panels underneath the main panel were scraps from my stash and I don't know who makes them. The
butterfly was stamped with Versafine Onyx Black ink and embossed with clear ep, then colored with Tombow markers and blended with a wet brush. The sentiment panel was colored with markers and stamped and then pierced. The flowers are by Prima, the ferns are punches by MS and EK success. The button is from my stash and tied with embroidery thread.
I hope you enjoy what I finally came up with!
Thanks for stopping by and do enjoy your Tuesday!
