SCRAMBLE #83

Made this card for Cat's scramble today in the Hero Arts discussion group.  Used the die cutout as a stencil and sponged color around it.  Then cut out 4 more butterflies, layered them and embossed.  Added the enamel dots for the body.  The challenge was to use a HA product as focal point and then Cat gave us choices for two additional elements - I chose dry embossing and the enamel dots.
By the way, I picked up some Aleene's Clear Gel and have found it works beautifully for layering these die cuts - bought it at Joann's (with a 50% off coupon) - it very reasonably priced and never clogs - a definite plus!  Little dots of it hold very well.

Supplies:
Die: HA 1078
Stamp: Technique Tuesday
Other: Ranger distress ink; MME enamel dots; Aleene's Clear Gel

Thanks for looking and your kind comments.  Betty

  1. Another stunning card, Betty! I love how you added texture to the butterfly with your embossing folder, and how pretty it looks against the soft blue background!
