First of all, let me apologize for the terrible picture. I find Glitter so difficult to photograph...This card, honestly looks better in real life.
I made this card for a challenge at Dreamweaver Stencils http://dreamweaverstencils.blogspot.com/
The Theme for the challenge is "New Beginnings" I always think of a butterfly as new beginnings and new changes. My butterfly stencil is LG740
I also made this card for the Twisted Sister Challenge TSC0201. For this challenge I was to use two shades of blue, an embossing folder, and a die cut. I think I finally did a challenge correctly. Don't think I broke any rules this time.
Thanks for looking,
Jill

This is so pretty Jill. I love the glitter and the stencil is awesome. I used a hexagon stencil on my card too. I like the ef you used. It adds so much texture to the card. Lovely.

Woweeee, Jill!
I love butterflies any way, shape or form, and this is a real beauty - LOVE those shades of BLUES with all the sparkle - is that the paper or did you ADD the glitter somehow??Your recipe is not clear on how you got the butterfly all glittery! the EF looks great in the BG too!

Thank you everyone for the nice comments...Sue, I should have put more info in the description above. I used a Dreamweaver stencil and white embossing paste, I then heat embossed the paste with Ranger embossing powder that has glitter in it.
