Hello everyone! This is my submission for TLC269 (piercing) and FS167 (casing Dara). I didn't get to play yesterday and I am on my way out today so I had to rush, but I cased this card by Dara, who loves gorgeous florals and butterflies, just like I do!
I changed the images but kept Dara's great layout. I used Layers of Color Butterfly Collector for my butterfly, and used the Nature Walk set for my background paper. I stamped the flourish onto Basic Grey Going Green graph patterned paper with Old Olive to somewhat mimic Dara's gorgeous background. I stamped the butterfly with Memento, then colored with Copics and embossed with UTEE, and cut out. IRL it really shines and pops but I can't get a good photo that doesn't make the UTEE make the black look lighter! LOL!
Anyway... Dara, so happy for you! You play faithfully in the challenges and have a beautiful gallery! Enjoy your week my friend!
My piercing is done with an Ornare Template and I added ZVA Creative Pearls for the butterfly trail. Thanks so much for taking a peek!

Oh gee, Grace, this is really a beautiful card. I love the EF as the base and your piercing on the corners is totally fabulous. Equally as fabulous is the butterfly, pearls and colors. Everything works so well together. Just exquisite.
