I've really discovered that I love using acrylic paints on my cards and my stamps. The results are amazing and create additional depth that regular stamp ink doesn't produce. This butterfly is highly textured and the stamped wildflowers also have added dimension.
On a white panel, freehand draw some grasses in muted acrylic paints. Once dry, stamp over top with a wildflower stamp that has been covered with olive green acrylic paint using a paint brush. Splatter two of the colors of (watered down) acrylic paints on the panel and let dry.
Die cut butterfly and sponge it with multiple colors of acrylic paints, drying between layers. Splatter the butterfly with watered down cream acrylic paint and then with full-strength white acrylic paint. Let dry.
Stamp sentiment on muted yellow scrap; tear edges. Adhere sentiment to card base. Adhere butterfly to card base using dimensional foam tape. TFL!

Yep, I can see the dimension in the flowers! My problem is stamping in an attic without easy access to water for quick cleaning, but it's a look I love. The butterfly is totally amazing.
