I embossed the image with white EP and then colored the butterfly with the reinkers and an aqua brush. The outer portion was sponged with the same colors, only using the ink pads and dauber. Spritzed with water and Mr. Huey's sprays. Favorite embellishment of the moment: sequins and rhinestones together. I'm pretty fond of my gold Krylon paint pen too.
HYCCT1513 = torn/distressed edges. I used an edge distresser on my image panel and then went over the distressed edges with the gold paint pen.

This is so beautiful. I love the colors you chose for the background and your added bling on the background. I have always loved that stamp but sadly never bought it.

Embossing resist - with a FANTASTIC TWIST!! Your sponging and spritzing came out BEAUTIFULLY on your card! All the more gorgeous with the addition of those rhinestones and sequins (and no extra postage when you mail them!) Hugs!

The spritz and sequins add so much to this card with the beautiful white embossed butterfly, Sallie. I love the crisp edge detail....so different!

Wow, this image is even more beautiful in your hands. I also really like your take on distressed but golden edges. What a great innovation and one for me to try. The coloring on both the butterfly and background is gorgeous.

Amazing butterfly! Love this stamped and embossed in white and then watercolored. Your gold edging is like the "frosting on the cake'..very elegant and beautiful.
