A friend had sent me some stamped images at different times and she sent this one I used. I enlarged it to fit the front of the card, used an embossing pen to outline lines of window, black em bossing powder and heat set and used chalks to color in. The first butterfly was part of image outlined it in versa mark, used black powder and heat set then did the same inside with white on design inside wings, but did not really like, so cut out another butterfly, colored it with markers, used stickles and glossy accents and popped it up on top of first butterfly. Stamped hello on paper, punched out and attached to card with a ribbon. Inside has stamped Happy Birthday, and punched out flower added to it. Card base is white, aqua next and image popped onto it.

You really achieved the look of a stained glass window on this lovely card. Your butterfly is exquisitely done. The black lines have a "furry" look like a butterfly would have IRL.
