Butterfly




It's not scanned well...I'll take a photo tomorrow when the lights better, not sure it will be an improvement tho! The two layers of the wings, the top one being on acetate .. don't show up at all.
********
The butterfly was stamped using Encore Ultimate Metallic.. four colours called Enchanted Evening.  the bottom layer stamped onto white card that had been swooshed  ( don't know what else to call it  :-) . ) with the bluey green end of Blending Blox shades of green and with the lighter end of shades of mauve, then embossed with clear detail embossing powder. The top layer was stamped & embossed in the same way but onto clear acetate. the Cuttlebug embossing flower plate was swooshed (that word again) with  the colour, thistle,  from Colour Box pigment ink cat's eye Q.

Lovely combination this, Sue. You can tell the acetate layer is separate but I see what you mean about the light. What inks have you used for your butterfly and is it ink or chalk on your embossed layers?

I'm sure this is really pretty for real - shiny things don't scan or photograph well do they which is a shame.
