Hi, I stamped this center flourish and butterfly when I was in Canada and have been dying to use it for the Plum Challenge. Finally I had a bit of time to put all the elements together . I distressed the center image them embossed it and distressed it some more. Applied Glossy Accents to my butterfly. All stamps..you guessed it Hero Arts. Have a great day! Hugs,Kathy

Beautiful card! What ink did you use to distress the center image? I have a lavender one from Tim Holtz, but do not like it because it has a brown tinge to it. I LOVE the color purple and all shades of it, so hopefully you will answer to let me know which ink you used! Thank you! 🙂
