For the background tapestry technique I used perfect plum, pale plum and mellow moss. I stamped the flower in craft white and covered with clear embossing. I also covered the sentiment with clear powder to give it the same shine. The butterflies are popped up a bit. You can't really tell from the picture, but I also inked the edges of each panel with the like color craft ink.
I was having a very hard time getting a good picture, it was either way too dark without the flash and the flash washed it out too much. Finally, my wonderful DH told me to use the flash, back up a bit, zoom in and that will help with the flash against the shine. He was right!! (I knew I was keeping him around for something).

What a beautiful card!! Your butterflies have so much dimension. They look like I could pick them right off of my computer screen. Awesome job on the challenge. Love your colour choice. TFS
