I am finally getting to Monday's challenge for several reasons. 1. I have been fighting a Sinus/Ear infection 2. couldn't find a magazine, 3. couldn't decide on an image. Well, today is a good day and that all changed! I received this beautiful Butterfly Collage stamp from Chrisations.ink yesterday along w/ some ribbon and embellishments. I absolutely adore this image and had to figure out how to use it right away. It is by Stamp Fanscisco by the way. So, I finally get to looking for a magazine. I stamped the large image on my clear Stamp a ma Jig sheet so I could lay it over the magazine pages to see what could work. The page I chose was an advertisement for Karen Foster DP's. I will upload a photo of the advertisement to my blog next so you can see the starting point if you wish. This was my 2nd attempt and choice of ads as the first one was embossed with gold EP as the tutorial said. It just didn't do this stamp justice, so I chose to emboss in black for the dramatic effect. I hope you like the technique and colors as much as I do, I am delighted with the outcome. Thanks for the image Christine, you are the best!

Hope you are feeling much better! Your card is awsome (great idea using the collage stamp it did not occur to me to try that)! I agree the black is much better for this one.
