Mary Marsh gave us some lovely blue and green shades, Cloud Cover, Pretty Peacock and Secret Sea with a dessert option of DSP. I cut a Cloud Cover panel and embossed it with the Sunflower 3D embossing folde. Using blending brushes, I blended all three ink colors onto the panel leaving the very top left corner unlinked. Sadly, my photo does not show the real depth of these colors. I spritzed the panel with my Wink of Stella pen. I die cut my greeting three times, adhered them together for depth and adhered that to the shadow piece, I attached this to the card and added wink of Stella to the words. This card really sparkles IRL. I fussycut two butterflies from my wrapping paper and layered them with dimensionals and adhered it the card.

Lovely! I like how you blended the challenge colors onto the embossed panel. It looks fabulous. The die-cut sentiment & the butterfly fit right it. Beautiful design. Love the sparkle!

You card definitely has wow factor Kathy. I like the background embossing and the color inking. You did achieve depth with your birthday phase by cutting it several times. And your designer paper butterfly is styling!!!

You blended these colors so well Kathy! I have yet to use this folder, must get to that! I can't believe your butterfly was cut from wrapping paper! The colors work perfectly against your backdrop.
