Savvy Butterfly Challenge

The perils of crafting with dogs...this card came out a little differently than I'd planned. While I was edging the finished butterfly panel with a Sharpie, Mimi came up behind me and WOOFED. Just once, but enough that I startled & of course dragged the marker onto the panel itself. I decided to make the mistake into an opportunity for embellishment (after taking Mimi outside to pee, that is).

Supplies: Butterfly stamp from Martha Stewart; Versamark & black detail EP; leaf & MOM stamps from Paper Smooches; Peeled Paint & SHabby Shutters distress inks; Cuttlebug tag die; Spellbinders label die; Memento Tuxedo Black ink; Yellow Daisy & Copper Tattered Angels glimmer mists

I flag-cut the ends of the sheer ribbon & heated it with my heat gun to warp & melt it a little bit, and layered the tag & button. No sign of my stray Sharpie mark now! The butterfly was painted using glimmer mists - embossing works well for this, as you can let the mist pool slightly for more colour variations. Plus, sparkle.

Her challenge runs until Tuesday, so go get your butterflies out :)
