My submission for today's challenge. My friend Crystal let me borrow her embossing folder for the Manhattan flower.
I had a different thought in mind, but when I borrowed this it changed it totally.
I embossed on vellum and added some pretty in pink to catch the raised edges to make the flowers stand out a bit better.
I then went over the raised lines with crystal effects.
I punched my butterflies from pink pirouette and vellum and layered them up to give the card some dimension.
I embossed the sentiment in white....it didn't show up really good, so I punched an oval in Pink Pirouette and layered it under the vellum layer.
This card actually does look better in real life. I had a hard time getting a good photo...the crystal effects and vellum kept giving off a glare...oh well.
Hope you like it anyway.....TFL

The details on this card are just exceptional. The Vellum butterflies are exquisite. I love the soft look you achieved with the vellum and pink together. Nicely done...
