This is my card for TLC489 which was to dry emboss a piece of cardstock and then color it. I used the Sizzix weave for the embossing and then ran my Crushed Curry inkpad over the top so I could use it as a background.
Next I stamped the Victorine flower with crushed curry, fussy cut it and attached it to the embossed CS. One is popped up. The butterfly is popped up too and I added jewels. I used wire from Christmas ribbon to make the antenae. I am pleased. What do you think?

Now that embossing folder required a lot of coloring, and every bit was worth it to make such a beautiful background for your beautiful sunflowers and butterfly - outstanding card!

This is fantastic! You did a great job with the ink pad - I ALWAYS end up with ink where I didn't want it. Beautiful card - love the butterfly!
