This is for the MIX challenge today. The background piece I embossed, then added the butterfly panel. I inked the butterfly wings separately to stamp leaving the center of the butterfly not stamped except for the tendrils. I then tore apart some Wild Orchid flowers and made my arrangement, adding leaves and wire stems to the mix. I added the pearls for the flight path and a few rhinestones on the butterfly for some extra sparkle. The glimmer mist rarely shows up in pictures, but IRL it is really pretty.

Kia, I love the center of your butterfly...so pretty. All the pearls look great for the flight pattern, too.

This is so stunning, Kia. How creative to add the floral arrangement for the butterfly body. You chose such gorgeous shades of deep pink. The ef bg is perfect. Love your new photo... it is do great to put a face with a name.
