A big congrats to Sherri, the newest Featured Stamper (FS890). She has a really beautiful gallery & I was drawn to THIS dramatic card. I loved the bright colors surrounded by black, so I kept that & the layout, but I used a different technique, different images, embossing folder & dies.
I didn't have the scratch off paper she used so I used an old technique for the butterflies on black circle. It's called Joseph's Coat (except I used plain instead of glossy c/s). The original technique has a brayered background under the embossing & black, but I just sponged 4 colorful inks around the circle. After drying the area & tapping over it w/ an embossing buddy, I clear embossed the butterflies using Versamark & clear powder, then used the black soot ink all over the circle. With a soft paper towel, I wiped the black ink off the embossed areas, leaving the bright colors underneath exposed.
Thanks so much for looking. It's on my blog w/ more pics & details: The Write Stuff

Love it! Great way to get a similar look without any special supplies. (Will I really ever use up all those sheets of scratch off paper?) Thank you for your kind words as well.
