I finally got to play again. Woot woot! I loved this challenge Cindy. This is my all time favorite butterfly from SU from Wonderful Wings. It's been retired a long time but will never leave my stash as long as I'm alive! LOL
I embossed the butterfly with black ep. Then I colored with the blender pen using calypso coral, cameo coral, peach parfait, tanerine, pretty in pink and saffron. I added clear embossing powder to it to bring out the colors. I love how it does that, it really makes the colors pop. It is mounted with a dimensional in the center so the wings are lifted up a bit.

I can see why you'd be holding on to that butterfly forever - and I'm surprised that this is the first of that paper I've seen so far, I had a feeling it would be perfect.
