First of all I'd like to give a warm welcome to my two new followers Kate and Lesley. It would be really nice if you popped in to their blogs to see their lovely makes.
After making my previous butterfly card it occured to me that if I had done some embossing my card would have qualified for Mrs A's Butterfly Challenge. So I made this card the following morning.
Although the colours are similar I used a different gelli plate print for the background. For this one I'd used some pearl acrylic paint. I embossed the background with my Cuttlebug and rubbed some Black Soot distress ink over the raised areas. It doesn't show as I then put on some mica powder which adhered to the wet Distress ink.
I used the same dies for the butterfly and ovals. The sentiment is another by Paula Pascal.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:-
The Butterfly Challenge where the theme this time is E for embossing

Happy Crafting to you all.

Another very pretty card...who doesn't love a butterfly!..and I think the embossed background showcases your gelli plate creation so well! Have a good week.
This is really pretty. I lov the metallic sheen to the embossed background. It looks quite sumptuous. Not a problem with the linking. I have removed one of them for you. Thankyou for fluttering by # 40. Hugs Mrs A.
Barb another lovely gelli plate background, loving the embossing too, it gives a whole other layer.

Gorgeous background! Lovely card! Thanks for sharing with Crafting from the Heart!
That is gorgeous and I must get some tips from you about using the Gelli plate - I've not had any success with mine yet but plan to try again soon. I love that beautiful metallic look and then you added embossing on top: my idea of background heaven lol! Karen x
