Handsome Butterfly

I just love this color combination that Betty, at Split Coast Stampers, came up with it for the color challenge, HERE. "Bermuda Celery Hunters-cc252", which is Bermuda Bay, Certainly Celery, and Handsome Hunter. The optional dessert portion of the challenge is to add pink, anything pink except card stock. I added marker ink and a button! The sketch is from Priscilla at the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge, HERE. It took me a bit to figure out how many layers I wanted and in what order, (before adhesive). The images are stamped with Handsome Hunter and colored in, lightly with stampin' write markers in regal rose, taken with teal, and certainly celery.

SUPPLIES
card stock: handsome hunter, bermuda blue, whisper white (SU)
dp: retired certainly celery (SU)
ink: handsome hunter (SU)
stamp sets: retired (SU)
other: taken with teal, certainly celery, regal rose stampin' write markers, cc grosgrain ribbon, neutral twine (SU) button (random stash)

Hi Lori, well you did a exceptional job with this weeks sketch and those layers...oh those layers look great. I know it take a lot of paper when you do a bunch of layering, but it is so worth it. Your colors look fabulous and your image, ribbon and button all go so well together. Stop back by for a sneak peek at next weeks sketch. Thank you so much for playing the Midnight Madness sketch challenge this week.
