I saw this lovely vase on our inspiration site (IC530), and loved the look of the flowers against the yellow bg: http://www.comuseum.com/wp-content/u...ihuawenwan.jpg
Decided to go with butterflies and sponging, and a bit of added orange and red. On the card front I sponged 4 different distress inks (anticipating where the butterflies would go to make those sections darker), then splattered with diluted inks of the same distress colors as well as diluted white acrylic paint. Sprayed with shimmer mist , so it has a lovely sparkle and then overlayed the cover plate die. Added sequins, and sentiment strips. Love this new cover plate die from PTI.
