I really liked the mosaic look and the colors of yellow, gray, black and white immediately made me think of a butterfly. So, I had this brilliant idea to stamp a butterfly and do a mosaic!
Well, let me tell you......this took me way toooooo long and just DID NOT turn out the way it was in my head!!!!! So, the next time I think of mosaic butterfly.......Please, tell me.....Don't Do IT!!!!! Yikes!
I stamped a butterfly onto white cs and attempted to cut out shapes in glitter yellow and gray. I adhered them onto the butterfly. Then, I used the Versamark pen around the edges and in between the yellow and gray pieces and heat embossed with black detail ep. WOW....black ep is very difficult for me to work with! It smudges EVERYWHERE!!!!! Again....YIKES!!!!
I decided on a yellow and gray glitter bg. I stamped my sentiment with Whispers black ink on the yellow dp. All was fine until I went to glue it to the card and....WHAMMOOOO!!!! Smudge right up the side! For the Third time.....YIKES!!!!!
After a HUGE sigh (HHHUMMMMMM), I added yellow dew drops on top and bottom.
So, whadda think of my smudged yellow, gray and black mosaic faith butterfly card? :P

I think this turned out great. Your glittery butterfly jumped off the page to me. I love that sentiment too. IKWYM about the black ep - I got it everywhere too, along w/ some smudges on my IC card.
