Butterflies at LIM

Yesterday evening I made this beautiful, beautiful butterfly card, and I fell asleep planning a hundred more. This morning I can remember 2 or 3 of them and I came up with another in the shower. I love how showers get my brain working, but you can't exactly write things down in there, can you? And sometimes my ideas evaporate like the steam. Ah well.

Here is yesterday's card - isn't it dramatic!

I used a stamp from Inkdinkado's Utopiary collection, a butterfly punch and my latest holographic embossing powder. I first saw this stuff on a card from a scrappy friend back in 2009, and I've been looking out for it ever since - I just didn't know what to look for. I struck gold when I was asking in our LSS for white embossing powder last week. At last! I stamped the butterflies in black, then stamped them again in embossing ink/glue, and sprinkled them with the holographic powder and heated them. Then I punched out the butterflies and stuck them down. The greeting stamp is one I was given so I don't know what it is.

It's for these challenges:
Less Is More: butterflies
Simon Says Stamp: sparkle and shine
Spoonful of Sugar: anything goes
Truly Scrumptious: anything goes
