I am still trying to get somewhere close to Michele's beautiful work, but have a long ways to go. Stamped in versamark and embossed with Pearlustre emerald. Brayered all over with Yoyo yellow. Masked off the sun and then brayered layers of only orange and real red. Sponged lightly to blend the colors. Versamarked the butterflies and embossed with gold and cut out and popped up on dimensionals. Sponged all the edges with vintage photo Distress Ink. The sentiment is embossed in white with a small touch all around it to give it a wispy feel. Hope you like it. tfl

Faith, this is certainly, no wannabe zindorf technique. This is beautifully done. You can now say you've mastered Michelle technique to perfection! This is one gorgeous card. And to top it all off, you've managed to create beautifully embossed butterflys just fluttering in the midst of that beautiful sunset!

Wow - I thought it was Michelle Zindorf when I glanced at the thumbnail (thinking enviously to myself why can't I achieve that look). I love how the butterflies seem so ethereal - the whole card just makes me want to sit and enjoy the sunsets more.
