I made this butterfly image many moons ago, but finally got around to using it on a card! I'd found a technique way back then to use a magazine page by stamping & embossing on it, so that's how this butterfly image came to be. I don't even know what butterfly stamp I used or if I even still have it. I hand cut it around the edges and adhered it to a gray piece of cardstock, and brushed the edges with a Versamark ink pad and embossed them with matching silver ep too. I used a couple pieces of matching cardstock with some black and mauve ribbon and called this one done!
I'm entering this into the Card Concept challenge #7 which is to use a butterfly. I suppose this could be considered "clean and layered" for the challenge.
Wishing you a wonderful weekend full of sunshine and fresh spring air! Thanks for stopping by!

Carol, love the colors of your card. And... you used a technique I haven't head of. Might need to give it a try! Thanks for posting...
That is a cool butterfly. It looks so happy and carefree!
Very pretty and love that butterfly! I've never heard of the technique but sounds like fun.
Hope you have a good weekend!

Hmmmm, what an interesting technique! It looks rather rustic to me, and I like it!
Very interesting technique and it came out very nice. Love the papers also. Have a good night.
The embossed butterfly is beautiful, good for you for finding a way to use an old piece from your stash! I really should do that more often myself!
Such a pretty colour combination. The double layer of ribbon is a very pretty detail! Thanks so much for joining us at The Card Concept!
I love the gorgeous pink you have used, a fabulous combo for this challenge. Thank you so much for joining us at The Card Concept.
Very cool card Carol! I am loving how the embossing looks. I never heard of stamping and embossing on a magazine page before, but it sure turned out great! I am loving your paper choices too and that color combo! Hugs
Such pretty colors in your card. I love that you found something old in your stash and used it up!
