Who doesn't love the flutter of butterflies? Today I am using the Butterfly stencil that I first dry embossed. Then I used Purple VersaMark Pigment Ink over the design with the stencil still over the paper. Then I removed the stencil and pinched UTEE clear powder over some of the inked image. Once the UTEE is heated, apply a second layer over the image with the stencil back in place. This second application was done with a Navy Blue Pigment ink. Apply the entire image with regular clear embossing powder. For the background I used the new Floral with Dots stencil. I lightly spritzed the cream card stock with alcohol then I embossed it through the Cuttlebug machine with the Rubber Embossing Mat. Finally, I used the vertical Friend stencils which I just colored with the matching pigment ink and created a banner!

Love how you used lots of dry embossing on this creation, Heidi! I am also going to link it into my post on how to add a sentiment onto an embossed background...really beautiful flutter butterfly too!
it's a really elegant card, love it!
Beautiful card Heidi! The embossed background adds such an elegant feel!
This is wonderful, Heidi! I was wondering why the switch in ink colors between layers of UTEE until I opened the pic of larger. Love the mottled effect! The embossed Floral with Dots was the perfect background.
Very pretty...nice balance to the card!
