Hi Everyone! This week our destination is Richmond, VA for Joan, mother of fellow SCSer/teapotter Emily (scrappinmama72inpa). We are sending Joan some teapot love and birthday wishes butterfly style!!
I loved the teapot that Cindy picked for us this week and for some reason I got really focused on the shiny black. I decided to emboss a shiny black flower for my butterfly! Stem from Fabulous Florets stamped in Basic Black and clear embossed on a Whisper White panel layered on Basic Black. I embossed two of the large flowers and cut them out. Layered the flowers and used rolled up glue dots between them for a little dimension. My butterfly (have no idea where it came from) is also embossed, cut out and colored with SU markers in Island Indigo, Certainly Celery, Pool Party, Marina Mist and Daffodil Delight.
Layered the image panel on a Whisper White and Basic Black. Base is Island Indigo. Added a couple of brads (I think they are Night of Navy)...I was out of black. Popped my butterfly with dimensionals and added the sentiment from SU's Teeny Tiny Wishes.
I only brought one butterfly so it's the back door for me this week! But I did bring a birthday sentiment so I hope I'll be gettin one of those butterfly cookies!!

I love the elegance of this card. The black and white is so elegant and then the blue just makes it stand out. That butterfly is gorgeous and beautifully colored. Fabulous. This is going to my faves.
