I had such a hard time photographing this atc. It almost took me longer to get a good photo than it did to make it. I stamped flourishes with bliss blue on the blue cardstock. I then stamped a flourish in black stazon. I stamped a butterfly twice. The top butterfly is colored and up on dimensionals. I doodled around the edges(Cathy, the super thin pen made all the difference.) I added three little rhinestones. They look really pretty on the butterfly, but I think they are why I had such a hard time getting a good photo. This is my first ATC and it was a lot of fun working with the small scale. What do you think?

I like this a lot, MariLynn. Normally I don't really go for gems and pearls down the body of butterflies (this is me, personally), but this is a case where even for me it really works so well.
