Colouring die cuts

Pretty Butterfly die

I'm just posting a card to the CAS Watercolour challenge before it ends on July 24th. There still time for all of you out there to enter if you haven't already done so, and even if you have you can always post another.  If you are looking for inspiration head on over and you will find some amazing cards from the participants and the design team, you won't be disappointed.

Here is my card, it's just waiting for the right sentiment.
The  watercolour background is smooshed Distress Oxide inks on Water colour paper, I then Die cut the butterfly (purchased from Aliexpress) out of 110lb white card stock and navy blue.  I inlaid the navy blue in the white, and love the pop of colour framing the smooshed DOX inks.  The main panel was cut with the  Crazy Double Running Stiched Nested Rectangle die from Stamplorations.  Finally I added some green and blue sequins to match the watercolour panel.
I'm also entering this for Less is more no Stamps, and the Butterfly Challenge #82 matching pairs of which I have two.
