Welcome to today's TLC. Karen wants us to use a stash background (if you have one), emboss it with an ef, then sand off the embossed bits. I wish I could remember how I did the original background....acrylic paints on a gel plate but there is more to it than that, I just can't remember. Purple and blue are the main colors. I decided to bring it up another level by spraying through a butterfly stencil with teal spray. Dried it, then ran it through a raindrop ef. Decided it would be appropriate to add a diecut butterfly, using another stenciled gel print from my stash. I love the little sentiment, I keep it on my desk this time of year so it's close at hand. Thanks, Karen.
This is also for yesterday's FS-Francine has quite the wow gallery. I can't add the link to her card because there is no url to copy and paste. Very strange. It's on page 3, a large pink butterfly stamp.

Jean, this is a gorgeous card. I love all the steps you took to create the beautiful embossed background. I have never sanded an embossed layer before. Such a unique technique. The beautiful looks beautiful on the card.
