Pretty Butterflies for Freshly Made Sketches!

I know I've been MIA for a while... no excuse really.  But now I'm back and I have lots of great cards to show you in the upcoming days!  This one is for Freshly Made Sketches:




I embossed the Swallowtail on Basic Black with Melon Mambo Embossing Powder.  Then stamped the image again on Whisper White using Black Staz-On.  I cut out only the part of the Swallowtail that I needed to layer on top of my Basic Black piece.  Next, I colored in the image with my Regal Rose and Melon Mambo Stampin' Write Markers.


A few Papillion Potpourri butterflies were stamped onto Daffodil Delight and punched out.


It's hard to tell in these pics, but the whole Whisper White piece is embossed with Irridescent Ice Embossing Powder, so that whole piece has a beautiful glimmer in person.

Hope you enjoyed today's card!  Happy Stamping!

Supplies Used:
Stamps:  Papillion Potpourri, Swallowtail
Ink:  Staz On, Stampin' Write Markers
Paper:  Basic Black, Melon Mambo, Whisper White, Daffodil Delight
Embellishments:  None
Tools:  Melon Mambo and Irridescent Ice Embossing Powders, Heat Tool, Elegant and Bitty Butterfly Punches
