So how about some vibrant Butterflies - Drunk Butterflies:
These are Alcohol Inks and silver Metallic mixatives smooshed on glossy cardstock and then the image is embossed in black. And, since the butterflies are "drunk", I sewed a stitch through the butterflies to add interest.

Close up of Butterfly:
Same butterfly as above stamped on Lilly Kate Basic Grey paper and pink stickles added to the detail lines.
I'm off to watch the snow fall and THINK of Spring!

Did you have a romantic dinner at Steak and Shake?
These are beautiful, Kat! Love the colorful butterflies against the black bg on the first and the soft colors and great layout on the second.
While I love the colors of your drunk butterflies (ha!), I really really *love* the offset circles on the second card. Enough to CASE, maybe! :)
Excellent project.. love it .. the drunken butterflies on black are superb!
Best Wishes Jo
Wonderful work, the butterflies are fabulous. Thanks for the nice comment you left on my blog. As the your interest in why I don't like that card, there are a couple of things I now think I could have done differently. Every time I see it I want to re-engineer it - LOL.
I've been meaning to stop by. I saw your drunken scotch tutorial on Card of the Week and think it's an awesome technique. I really love the outcome. I many use it in the near future. Thanks so much for sharing!!
Just beautiful! I was going to ask if they were drunk because they looked 'tipsy' on the card, or because they were made with alcohol, and then I read on and got my answer. lol
