I have been sorting my leftovers from previous years and I knew that I had this image pre-stamped with some blended ink already on it. What got my attention about Kate's card is that she cut the image into a circle. I do not think I have ever done that with this image. I wanted to try it!
I finished the ink blending, die-cut it into a circle and used a scallop circle mat in black. Then I stamped the image again and blended ink on the butterfly & fussy cut it out. I glued it on the circle image just under the body area so the wings could lift up. I covered the wings with Wink of Stella so they sparkle. The white panel is shimmer cardstock, so it sparkles, too.
My changes: theme, colors, coloring method, colored card base, scallop circle mat, stamped sentiment directly on panel, added rhinestones.
Thank you Kate for sharing your wonderful cards with us and for inspiring mine today! I like the image in a circle.

Beautiful card! I love how you carried that band of purple through your image and across the card base. The 3D look of the butterfly really gives your card some motion. Perfection!

Gorgeous -- the design, the colors, the stamping, the blending -- all of it. I love how you blended the strip of purple on the circle panel to coordinate with the dp strip behind. It looks fabulous. And adding the second butterfly to make it 3D is stellar. Fabulous card.
