Friends with Flair - Bright Butterflies!

Good Friday Morning! It's time for Unity Friends with Flair - I have been busy lately, so I was excited to play along this time! Here is my card:
For the background paper, I stamped the butterfly image in versamark ink, embossed with clear powder, then colored in stripes over the top using a ruler and my Copic markers. The embossing resists the ink, so you can still see the butterflies! 
I then stamped the sentiment right over the copics, matted it on black paper, then adhered it to the card base. 
Finished off by stamping, coloring, and fussy cutting out another butterfly, then glueing just the center to the card, and curling up the wings a bit. 
I had submitted this to the PaperCrafts Magazine's last submission call - but no luck! I plan to keep trying, and one of these days, well, you never know! In the meantime - make sure and head over to the Unity Stamp Company Blog to get the details on how to join in with Friends with Flair and win some prizes!!!

  4. Well, the sentiment explains it very well. It's PERFECT! I really love the way you did the background paper. I haven't done that for a long time, but I am thinking it needs to come back in our craft room. I have never done the stripes before though, so thanks for sharing that!
