It's another inspiration challenge from Beate! I've had this black glossy cardstock that I picked up a while ago and never used. I thought it would work well for this challenge. It DOES work well, but I found it impossible to keep from getting little specks of embossing powder everywhere. The oil from your fingers makes it stick to the glossy cardstock so easily. I sta
mped these images so many times to try to get a "cleaner" version, but perfect just wasn't happening. LOL The set is the Patterned Bugs set from Inkadinkado and the sentiment is from the Flutter By set from Paper Pretties. You can't tell so much from the photograph because of the lighting, but the black glossy cardstock is mounted on metallic gold cardstock. The large butterfly's wings are mounted with dimensionals for a 3d effect. Be sure and check out what Beate, Danielle Lounds, Dawn McVey, Jenn Balcer, Silke Ledlow and Susan Roberts came up with for today. I'm sure they will be gorgeous! Thanks for stopping by! SUPPLIES USED: Stamps- Patterned Bugs (Inkadinkado), Flutter By (Paper Pretties); Paper- black glossy cardstock, gold (DCWV Metallic Stack); Ink- Versamark; Accessories- gold embossing powder, black organdy ribbon (Darice), gold brads (Making Memories)
