I've had this butterfly sitting on my bulletin board for MONTHS. I finally decided to USE it instead of letting it sit and collect dust!
The butterfly was stamped and embossed on vellum. I colored it in w/ a VersaMarker then brushed on PearlEx. I sealed it w/ a matte sealer then cut it out. I added crystal effects and DD glitter when I put the card together.
The color combo is kinda crazy but I wanted it to go w/ the PearlEx colors - I sponged on Summer Sun ink onto the YoYo yellow base to tone it down a bit b/c it's BRIGHT!!
Thanx for looking!

Wow--a lot of work on this one. It turned out great! I think it is fun to sometimes make cards that are really bold and bright. It makes a statement (I'm not always sure what the statement is, but it certainly makes it forcefully). LOL. This card is really pretty. TFS.
