Golden Wings.....

Hello everyone: I love stamp sales, don't you? I found this beautiful Butterfly stamp from So Suzy Stamps on Ebay a few months ago so I bought it and today, I inked it up for the first time with Versamark ink and heat embossed it in gold. I'm linking this card to several challenges, which I will list at the end of this post. Here's my card.


I stamped the image onto a piece of light brown card stock and fussy cut it after I heat embossed it. The die cut corners on this panel are done with Tim Holtz die set called "Mixed Media Dies".
I used the retired SU stamp called "En Francais" for the background, stamped with Versamark ink, heat emboss it and sponged lightly with Baked Brown Sugar. The word die is from Elizabeth Crafts.
Here's a close up of this pretty butterfly.


****************************************************************
And here's a picture of the finished inside of my card.


The sentiment is from a set by Unity Stamps called "Your Wings Exist".

I would like to enter this card onto the following challenges.
Stamp, Ink, Paper "Wonderful Wings"
C.R.A.F.T Challenge #379, EMBOSSING.
Moo-Mania challenge "Nature's Beauty"
The Butterfly Challenge #61, use Kraft paper or a Kaleidoscope effect.
I chose the Kraft paper to heat emboss my butterfly.
Double D Challenge "Neutrals"


Thank you for stopping by, until next time, happy stamping.
Hugs from Maria.

Oh, my goodness, that is one gorgeous butterfly! Brilliant idea to do the gold embossing. Wow! Great find and good eye for spotting it. Thanks for sharing in our Neutrals challenge at Double D, Maria!

Thank you Leslie, this butterfly image was a bargain indeed and I think it was made for heat embossing, I want to try it with water colors.

I started browsing your blog and this card immediately caught my attention. The butterfly really is eye catching, the embossed pattern is almost the same as the base color and it gives your butterfly a very beautiful textured look. And the simple background with cut outs suits so well, it doesn't take away the focus of the butterfly but it still adds interest to this clean design. Great job!
