I made this birthday card for my good friend Susan (susanbri). Happy Birthday Susan!!
I used Brusho colour crystals for my background and the solid butterfly (watercolour crystals) ... misting with lots of water to get them to blend into each other.
I learned something new with making this, and shared on my blog if you want details.
I die-cut the solid butterfly from watercoloured paper and used vellum to die-cut the top layer of the butterfly and used it on the sentiment panel. The leaf sprig is die-cut from turquoise metal.
Accessories: water mister, white embossing powder, moonlight and kaleidoscope butterfly dies (memory box), fresh foliage dies (memory box), turquoise metal sheet (add a little dazzle)

OH! This turned out SOOOO pretty! I went to your blog to read about your process for making. I am not familiar with the crystals you talked about. Love the color combo you have used on this and the vellum is just yummy with the large happy birthday sentiment!
