There is Beauty in the World – CTD #50

 Butterflies crop 2

I’m hosting the Color Throwdown challenge this week!  Can you believe we’re already at #50?  Time sure does fly!

The colors I chose are:

 CTD50

Great summer colors, huh?

I chose to use my Butterfly Inchies (427) set from Rubbernecker for my card.  I misted the stamps with water after applying the ink, then stamped them on watercolor paper (after stamping off on scratch paper first) to create the dreamy effect.  I cut out and popped up another butterfly and used Stardust Stickles for all the butterflies’ bodies and the dots under the sentiment oval.

The “inky” panel is a leftover piece of the tag I used on this card.
