Create Along with Us!

Oh Man, when I saw today's release I knew I had to play with my butterflies!!
I loved everyone's cards with the new Color Pop: Butterflies!
I chose Amy's card and I used Beautiful Butterflies.  Now this was a little tricky because I also loved her darker background (brown), so I stamped and added some of the "layers" to the butterflies, I also added some copics to the butterlies!!
I had to do this in stages so that I could stamp again with versarmark and clear emboss the images.  When I was all done with stamping and embossing, I sponged on some antique linen distress ink.  THEN, I took it to the iron and melted off the embossing paste!
No more shine, but a real soft texture to the card!
I also used the little flower cluster from the color Pop: Flowers!
Here is Amy's card:
I loved the divided panel, a signature from Maile I believe!!
I also die cut the Thanking of You three times from Graceful Greetings!
Wow, it took a few hours, but I love the end result!!

Heart Hugs, friends!
