This is my card for the HYCCT1310 challenge Words to Inspire - to make a card using words that are meant to inspire.
I started by sponging some Khaki Green ink on the bg paper in random places and then stamped the butterfly with VersaMark and embossed with clear ep. I sponged around the butterfly with Spiced Marmalade, fading out the edges with Antique Linen. The sentiment was stamped with a combination of VerdaMark and Khaki Green and also embossed with clear ep. I stamped the torn spiral edge and sponged the edges of the layer with Khaki Green; then painted gold shimmer spritz over butterfly image only. I finished the layer by spattering with shimmer spritz and adhered it to the card base. To give a little more definition to the butterfly I drew a very thin outline with a #2 pencil.
As always, thanks for looking!

The distressed background is really lovely. I keep eyeing that butterfly up on eBay . Live today is so true - I think that's my favourite part of that sentiment.
