This was an interesting challenge as I didn't have all of the equipment so had to substitute. I used dye inks instead of re-inkers, and a plastic circles template from a stationery store instead of making an acetate template as I don't have a die cutting machine. I also didn't have a suitable sentiment stamp, hence the butterfly! I stamped the butterfly in purple and painted it with the dye inks to keep the colours the same. I wiped a small amount of Liquid Pearls over the butterfly to add a little sheen and mounted it on dimensional foam squares for added interest.

This is gorgeous! I love your color combination and the butterfly is a great embellishment. I don't have re-inkers either but now I'm eager to try this with my distress inks. Thanks for the inspiration!

Your card is beautiful despite not having the things you needed. Looks like something I'd put together with my limited supplies, but I like it that way! :p
