Hello everyone! Today's featured stamper is absolutely incredible!!! She is blondie090277, aka Kim, and she has the most amazing gallery! I started favoriting cards I might want to case and realize I was favoriting them all... so I just had to pick one. I chose this card to case:
I changed the stamp, the colors just a bit, added a butterfly and forgot to add the piercing before card was assembled so I omitted that as well. While mine is no where near as gorgeous as Kim's, I do love the way this came out.
I used Whisper White for my image panel and base. I sponged my center panel with first Barely Bananna, then So Saffron, then Old Olive. I stamped my Inkadinkado image in VersaMark then Bravo Burgandy and clear embossed.
For the butterfly I cut it out of bravo burgandy with a CB die cut, then ran it through an embossing folder. I then used my Zig embossing pen to hand draw the decor around the dry embossing and dipped in gold ep. I heat embossed that, then added gold stickles to the body and three spots on each wing. The picture does not do the butterfly justice. Try as I might, I could not get the sparkle to show up but IRL it is very pretty.
Thanks so much for looking! Have a great Sunday!

Grace, this is drop dead gorgeous. Don't sell yourself short on this one friend. I love the image with all of the sponging, the embossing and that butterfly "my oh my". I also love the wide white matting on this.
