I had a card session today with a friend and this is what we created each with our own choice of butterfly number and sizes and I didnÂ’t finish mine until after she left so I hadnÂ’t thought of the Stickles and pearls until later so maybe she'll see this and decide to do the same.
The background panel was created using Ranger alcohol inks:
Denim, Stonewash, Cloud Blue, Silver and blending solution
I roughed up the edge of the panel with my fingernail and stick pin after it was attached to the cardÂ…it just looked blah and this gave it more character.
The Flower Sprig die is from Memory Box and the butterflies from Cheery Lynn, I found both at Sweet Stamps and they are attached to the card with AleeneÂ’s tacky glue. Parts of the flower sprig were double layered with the top layer being de-bossed using a metal ball stylus and folded paper towel for cushion. The butterflies are double layered also. The pearl are self-sticking.
If you interested in a view which shows the dimension of the layers hereÂ’s a direct post link on my blog: click here.

Wow Roxie, gorgeous, gorgeous background. Love how you distressed the edges and framed your piece. Your butterflies and flower vine add the perfect 3-D embossed look to your amazing card. TFS and sharing your description too.
