Slip on over to the MMSC site http://priscillastyles.blogspot.com/ and check out the wonderful new sketch that our resident artist has created for us this week. Our sponsor is PB Stamps http://www.pbstamps.com/ and I have used two Penny Black stamps - The butterfly is called Bohemian and the leaves in the background are called Japanese Maple. Do I get extra points? I stamped the butterfly in clear and embossed it in gold. I covered it in Judikins Diamond Glaze and applied pearls to the wings. I covered the body and edge of the wings in gold stickles. The leaves were stamped in SU! Moss Green and embossed it with clear. Rectangles were cut with my Nestibilities scalloped rectangles. I used some Cuttlebug folder on the papers and cut a Martha Stewart border out in the moss green and white. The flourishes were cut with a Cuttlebug flourish die cut out of gold paper. My two ribbons were from Hobby Lobby and three pearl dew drops completed this card. I stamped the butterfly on the envelope and embossed it in gold.

Phyllis, I truly apologize for getting so behind in commenting on your gallery. I always love to come see what you're up to and, of course, I see some of them on Priscilla's blog too. I've been up to my eyeballs in STUFF of the "not fun" kind!! LOL! Why, Phyllis, what do my eyes see but a feast of gold and pearls!! This has to be one of my fave cards of yours EVAH!!! The butterfly is beyond gorgeous and I love your use of the mellow moss color. I wouldn't have thought to put that together with gold, but you know, it will have to go on my list to use for the future!! What a spectacular creation full of wonderful details!! TFS!
