Clean and Simple with only One Layer

Are you looking for something quick and easy to do, but with a bit of technique to try?  All you need for this one are a couple of stamps, some distress inks, some glimmer mist and perhaps a couple of rub-ons.  When finished, it will easily go in the post, and can be used for many occasions.

First of all I prepared the background, sponging and stamping with various shades of  distress inks.  Then I spritzed with glimmer mist, letting the colours run together.  Finally, I stamped the flower and stem, older stamps from Fancy Pants that I haven't used in a while, adding a couple of rub-ons for the butterfly and the word beautiful.

A couple of challenges:
