Water color trio

Good Afternoon! so i had this assortment of precut cardstock from Teresa's camp card 'vintage vogue' from monday night and since i don't have that gorgeous set, wheel or punch... i had to use something else! this is what i came up with!

i went w/ the shabby look kinda like she did. Spritzed my crushed curry paper w/ alcohol, that i had stamped tone on tone already w/ one of the water color trio stems. Crumpled it up in a ball and then ripped two little random pieces off the sides. then smooth flat and adhere. Sponged the edges of the whisper white piece w/ choc chip. "rock n rolled" my butterfly. First ink it up in crushed curry, then just roll the outside edges around on the choc chip ink pad.(always start w/ the lightest color and you won't stain your second ink pad) then punched out with 3/4" circle punch and popped up on dimensionals. Carried the same theme right on over to the outside of my envelope as well. Makes for a cute ensamble.
supplies:
paper: choc chip, bermuda bay(retiring), crushed curry(retiring), whisper white
ink: choc chip, bermuda bay, crushed curry
stamps: water color trio
tools: "note book" punch(totally can't remember the correct name right now, 3/4" circle punch
accessories: sponge, stampin dimensionals, white organza ribbon, stapler (to hold down ribbon)
