The image from Crafty Individuals was stamped in StazOn Black onto Shimmery White paper then sponged with Summer Sun & Groovy Guava. I added a gold brad to the center of the flower and Fruit Punch Stickles to the butterfly.
The background paper is Barely Banana which I ran through my Big Shot using the Cuttlebug Jamara Embossing Folder. I then applied Folk Art Acrylic Paint in Metallic Pure Gold to highlight the embossing.
I distressed a piece of Groovy Guava paper and assembled my card.

Very pretty card, Donna!! I love the image and the colors you used on it. I also like texture of the embossing folder, I'll have to look for that one.
Hi Donna
Any card with a butterfly is pretty, yours are always exceptional. I just noticed under 'Cards' label the photo keeps changing - that's really cool.
Hope you're having good weather.

Hello Donna,

Hi Donna,
I have been in the land of the lost!!!! I was extremely busy finishing the school year. As if that was not enough to keep me occupied, I moved my stamping room downstairs! I am slowly coming to life again and visiting my favorite blogs. I wished you lived closer because I would love to meet you, stamp with you, and visit you gorgeous gardens.
I will visit on a more regular basis now.
What a delight for the eyes!
What a beautiful card. I just love how you sponged the image.
Lovely card. I like your color combo and the different techniques you used. I haven't tried paint to highlight an embossed image, but it sure adds a pretty depth to your card.
