Karen is our hostess this week and she has chosen: bermuda bay, tangerine tango, dafodil delight and for dessert: at least 5 layers. This week I passed on dessert.
Stamped my butterflies to create a border (masking as I went) on a separate piece of cs that was the same size as my card front, and then colored with copics. I initially stamped in Memento black, and after coloring with copics I stamped the black again with versafine black for a bolder, deeper black. The MISTI is a must for this step. I then fussy cut around the edge of the butterflies, stamped the sentiment and then popped up this panel on my card front for a great dimensional look! Added a thin black strip of cs on the card front. Added stickles for sparkle and enamel dots for a bit more color.

I always look forward to seeing your card(s) each week to see what clever and creative way you use them and you never fail to impress! The border of butterflies is colored beautifully and I'm so impressed you fussy cut the edge and popped it for the added dimension. A real beauty, Maura!
