In reviewing the sketch, I see I completely skipped panel 1. Panel 3 is my medallion stamped on the cardbase, and the butterfly is my top left corner element.
I stamped the medallion with Distress Oxide ink that had been spritzed with water and then dabbed here and there to remove some of the ink before stamping for a shabby effect.
I colored the flower from Heartfelt Thanks - one of my earliest stamp sets - with markers then used the stamp-a-ma-jig to line up the outline image also colored with markers.
I stamped an already punched butterfly gifted to me by Melody with one of the images from Watercolor Wings again using markers.
I stamped the floral butterfly from Flight of the Butterfly here and there on the card base for a bit of texture.
It was fun to finally have a chance to create this. I'm also submitting it to the alphabet challenge letter G for the gray & pink challenge, I also have glitter paper and green. Thanks for looking.

Great layout! I love the medallion behind your flower image. Seeing, these older stamp sets brings a smile to my face. I have them all! Makes me want to take them out and play with them too. Thanks for the inspiration. Love what you created here.

I love the iced spruce color of the oxides! This card is wonderful. I have the medallion, f.o.t.b. and heartfelt sets. I love how you combined all of them to hit the challenges. Love this shabby chic vintage looking card!
Thanks for the inspiration!

Gorgeous! Wonderful take on the sketch. Love how you used the Medallion stamp for the circle element. I have the Heartfelt set and love it more than I use it. You inspire me to get it out! Wish I had the Medallion stamp especially after seeing how you used it. Beautiful in the soft colors. Great card for Letter G. TFS

Your medallion is perfect for that circular panel...I really like the multi-step stamping on the flower and butterfly! Pretty soft, feminine shades of pink, gray and green~

That soft grey & pink is so pretty together with just the hints of green. The stamped medallion is a great way to add an element without adding extra bulk to the card. Beautifully done!
