This is my 5th and last Verve challenge card to celebrate the release of new sets this Friday! Head over to the Verve forum and check out the contest details! I had fun with this butterfly...embossed him first by stamping in Versamark on watercolor paper, then heat embossing with black EP. Julia's WT challenge was to heat emboss...symbolic of the heat wave that most people are experiencing. I then spritzed the image with water, dipped a brush in Only Orange reinker and a second one in Summer Sun reinker. I touched the brushes lightly to the image and the ink ran and filled up the embossed sections. I figured if the technique works on rose images, why not butterflies?! I liked the finished guy and perched him on the card to steal the show. TFL!

OH BOY! I really love this card. The black/yellow combo is wonderful, and that bold butterfly is fabulous, GF!! Love that sentiment too with the light ink bg and dark wording.
