For Polly's Portion Control MIXed media challenge, to have our focal image stamped off the page. I used a previously made clingwrap background (Brusho acrylic mists, gold shimmer spray, starch), and stamped and embossed my butterfly. I used bleach to lighten the colour of the butterfly. At one stage it went a vivid turquoise and I wish I could have held it there! With a TCW stencil and white gelato, I added some circles, and I used two stamps from Timeless Textures. Added the sentiment and embossed it, and edged the panel with a gold pen. Time to go to work, then. When I got home I decided it needed a white frame so I added it to a larger base, and also added Stickles to some of the stencilled circles.

ooh that is cool to know that using the bleach on the centers didn't change the embossing. (like say an alcohol marker might) the depth of colors on this is just beautiful Sabrina

Immediate FAV....your bg is incredible...so full of sparkle and layers..the colors are great together, probably one of my fav combos. The white framing with the double lines is wonderful...really shows off the piece. The gold embossed butterfly is amazing, too....so much to look at and drool over on this card.

Oh, sabrina, this is just dreamy! I love every element from the embossing to all the textures! Gorgeous seems such and inadequate description, but it truly is.

WOW, WOW! This is such a fabulous collage of mixed media elements for your background! I LOVE it! Your gold embossed Swallowtail is lovely and I like the bleach look you've used on his wings. Your blackline doodled frame is simple and elegant and perfect for your picture!
