For Polly's "In the Pink" MMTPT challenge today.
I went with her masterboard option, more or less following the directions in the Four-in-One collage tutorial from Falliday Fest to guide my positioning. I used Playful Petals mostly, with a supporting cast of Roses in Winter, and in the background Canvas and an old Hero script stamp. After colouring all the open flowers I sponged with antique linen distress, and then stencilled a TH flourish in green wherever I thought it needed it. Added white and silver gel pen details, and then painted dilute gold Stickles from the end of a bottle over patches. Trimmed, matted on black, and added my sentiment and butterfly. The middle layer of the butterfly is shimmer paper.

You did a fantastic job on that background - so many interesting details and all those hand-colored flowers! Beautiful stenciling and sponging, and the black butterfly is the perfect accent. Great card!

Sabrina, you made your own designer paper, and it's fantastic! The card you used it for is very pretty, specially with the shimmering butterfly! It's simply lovely!

Gorgeous. Love the pattern you created and those multi-colored flowers definitely take a starring role. I'm impressed at all the work you put into this. Love the sparkly paper for the butterfly -- perfect behind the black and the black matting really makes it all pop. Awesome card.
