This is what I call my "stubborn card." Do you ever have one of those? :) I was determined to use this background I made with my watercolors and Twinkling H2Os for this week's color challenge and I wanted to have butterflies on it. I first sized it down by using the pierced rectangle from Flourished Star Pattern set. I stamped, die-cut, embossed several different sizes of butterflies from the Butterfly and Bugs set and spent a good hour trying to figure out how to use them. In the end, I did get 3 tiny butterflies on it by embossing in white a row of them in the corner. My verse from Scripture Collection 8 is embossed in black and die cut using Layered Lacey Square Dies and popped up on top of another die cut from the Doily set. I added some clear dew drops and matted it with some black card stock. Hope you like the final result!
