I have a fairly clean and simple project to share with you today that I made for the Splitcoaststampers Technique Lovers Challenge. We were to use an open style image stamped with one color and not colored in. I love the butterflies in the Rubbernecker Butterflies Are Free and Butterfly Inchies set and thought they were the perfect image to use. I didn’t actually use ink but instead stamped with versa and embossed with gold powder.
I’ve used the gold embossing with white on white many times before and I never tire of it. I stamped the butterfly images and sentiment and heat embossed with gold power. I created double layered Fleur De Lis rectangle frames and popped them both up on mounting tape for dimension.
I cut the butterflies out with my snips and then popped them up using rolled up glue dots and Glossy Accents. I the the double layer Fleur De Lis is such a perfect elegant design to be paired with the delicate butterfly images.
Happy Tuesday and I hope you are having a good week. Thanks for stopping by.
PS….I forgot to make a picture of my Fleur De Lis dies. Sorry. I copied and pasted the picture from Spellbinders.

I think I’ve said this before but it’s worth repeating. Arizona photographer, Scott Baxter, says a photograph is good when it’s easy to look at. I believe that’s true with most art. And it’s certainly true with your cards, Kittie. This is beautiful.
I had to come to your blog to find out what TLC meant though {smiling}. I’m still so new to SCS that I don’t always know what all the challenge acronyms mean {laughing}
You have to be the master of the white on white stuff Kittie. This is just awesome!!
Beautiful, love the fragile butterflies. Always enjoy your posts.
This is absolutely gorgeous Kittie!
This card is so pretty. I have several of the Spellbinder’s dies that I inherited from someone who no longer wanted to do this craft and I haven’t used them. You have inspired me to get them out and make use of them. Were you ever a teacher? You make things so clear when you describe your creations. Thanks!!
I love the look of your embossed butterflies. I will have to give it a try. All your art has inspired me. Here’s my first try at making Kitty cards: http://melaniereidscrapbooking.blogspot.com/2012/02/rolled-flower-cards.html
