I have been wanting to do a card with rainbow colors for a while... so I blended inks on the cs, spritzed with water, stamped the butterflies w/ archival ink, then spritzed the panel with shimmer spritz for sparkle. Matted with a thin black mat, embossed the sentiment in white and assembled, added dots. Love that bold look against the black.

Beautiful sponging to blend the colours ... they just flow. Love the splatters from the sprays. Gorgeous, bold colours that look stunning when framed in black. Awesome design, Maura. Thanks for sharing at HLS. xx

This is such a beautiful card!!! I love the Social Butterfly set. Just bought it and am hoping I can make something as nice as this. Great color choices!

Wow! You have really mastered the sponged background. I really like the spatters you added to it. Those butterflies are the perfect bold pattern to go with your strong colours. The enamel dots add just the right amount of reflectivity. This is a gorgeous card! TFS
