After spraying my colours, I embossed my butterfly and sentiment in gold. My embossing powder is very thick and isn't up to scratch like Ina's who has embossed her card beautifully. I intentionally did gold embossing around the card and will also add this card to a Technique Challenge relating to stray embossing.
I did more watercoloring in parts of the butterfly after the embossing as some of the blues weren't as deep as I liked.
I hope that Ina enjoys her special week. Congratulations my friend. You deserve the spotlight and honour. Hugs
TFL everyone. Happy 2021...may it be a healthier and happier one around the world.

Beautiful, Jayne! It was nice to see what inspired you in Ina’s gallery...you have been an inspiration to me with this card...isn’t it fun to take the random bits and work our own magic...

Jayne, I love your version of the butterfly card. The gold embossing is so beautiful against the colourburst bg. I also, often enhance the colours inside the butterfly with more colour. Thank you, my friend for this beautiful tribute.

Beautiful bursts of blue, Jayne and lovely stray gold around your card and on the butterfly! You did well by keeping this simple since it's a sympathy card~
