Butterfly Challenge



I'm having a hard time taking pictures today as it is overcast and so gloomy.  This card was made for the Paper Smooches Sparks challenge.  The design and technique were inspired by a card shared by Jennifer McQuire.  To make this card I die cut a circle out of an adhesive sheet then burnished the adhesive with glitter. I  stamped the images (Paper Smooches "Flap Happy") with Staz On ink onto the glittered circle than colored with markers.  I then applied glossy accents over the colored images to help set the ink and blend the colors for a water colored affect.  The circle is attached to the card using a brad to swing open to revel a white panel for writing my message (the coral rectangle is not a folded card,
The challenge inpiration at Sparks is this  photo.
 what struck me was the water colored look to it and the butterfly.

Thanks for stopping by,
Kelly
