-Images are colored with Prismacolor pencils and baby oil for blending.
-I use the shimmer/glimmer technique and used Pearl Ex and hairspray and few drops of More Mustard to color the paper. But it made the two shades of gray paper look very close to the same color. Below the ribbon is the darker shade.
-Ribbon is knotted then taped to the back of the panel.
-The butterflies are also glimmer sprayed and I used stickles on the centers. They are attached with just a touch of tacky glue in the center.
-Stickles was also applied to the flower centers.
-Paper piercing on the corner with Stampin Up mat pack.
-Tool distressing is done with a Tonic paper perforator then ink distressed.
Flower image is unknownÂ…if you know please let me know.
Sentiment and distress ink can be found at Cornish Heritage Farms.

Roxie hadn't seen that beautiful card of yours. Wow pretty. Is it the butterfly season already... Yeah, and I love seeing all of them come up on my screen. Thanks for sharing that dear sentiment also.
