This is my card for two challenges: WT530 "Flutter By, Butterfly" - to have butterflies on our project, and MIX119 "Texture" - to create visual or dimensional texture on our project.
I created the focal image by attaching the stencil to black cs using a temporary spray adhesive. I gently sponged on various colors of acrylic paint, removed the stencil and let it dry. I sprayed gold shimmer mist and also tapped out droplets from the tube of the mister. The image was trimmed to size and placed on a shimmery gold mat.
The sentiment was stamped with VersaMark on black cs and heat embossed using gold ep. It was trimmed and attached to the image with black foam tape.
This turned out so well; I think it's going in a frame so that I can hang it my craft room.
As always, thanks for looking!

Wow - straight into my favourites! I never seem to have much like when I use repositionable spray on my stencils, maybe I sponge too hard! You've worked magic with yours, Jody - this is absolutely beautiful. I love that glowing background and the little speckles of gold.

With the dark blends of these colors, your card has a wonderful mysterious atmosphere, Jody. The gold misting and droplets add to the feeling. It SHOULD be hung in your craft room...it's BEAUTIFUL!!

Wow, you used acrylic paints?? They are so 'smooth' I never would have guessed that! Doing it on black CS really made a huge difference in the look you achieved!! Love the sprayed on gold glimmer mist , but the extra "droplets" of gold look super cool!! I am with the others - this definitely needs a FRAME for your craft room!!
