Enamel Butterfly

Today’s card is for the Inspiration Challenge on SCS found here . I selected the Spring 2007 Special Edition plate.


Enamel Butterfly:

I was surprised when I looked at the challenge late last night…. Mackintosh Enamels is my DH cousin’s artwork/business… chuckle…you never know what a small world it is! Their work is really beautiful and they are the nicest people!


Okay - a little about the card. Most of the background was created with emboss/resist and lots of sponging. I white embossed the leave print at the bottom to represent the lighter images on the plate. The entire circle was embossed with one layer of UTEE that I partially melted - I like the sheen and the texture that this added (originally I was going to add several layers of the UTEE).


Hope you are having a fun, relaxing holiday weekend!
Thanks for the visit!
