I had a tough time coming up with something for this foil challenge, but finally settled on this. I stamped the butterfly with staz on ink onto a window sheet and colored the back of it with sharpie markers. I intended it to be red and orange, but the red looked more pink than red to me, so that decided the colors. I crumpled and then adhered some regular kitchen foil onto a piece of card stock and cut and embossed it with the Nestability Labels Two die. I attached the window sheet to the foil layer with brads and it is popped up with dimensionals. The main panel is embossed with a cuttlebug paisley folder which was inked with ruby red ink for just a bit more definition. I think you can figure out the rest.

How gorgeous this butterfly is, Karen!! How clever of you to stamp and color on acetate, then put it on the foil! When I first looked, I thought, "how did she do that painting on foil??" Thanks for the tell-all directions. I must try that!! Love the cb bg, and the brads!!

This is just gorgeous! Love the butterfly, wow!
Thanks for your concerns on my son. We ended up getting a cast on today and he has to wear it for 4 weeks. One way to get out of P.E.
