Layered Butterfly

Hello, everyone! Today I'm sharing a butterfly card! I was inspired by Mrs. A's Butterfly Challenge, the theme of which is G for Glossy Accents, paired with the optional colour Slate Blue. I used both!  I die-cut the butterfly three times and layered for a 3-D effect.

The bottom layer is die-cut from vellum. The other two layers are heat embossed with three different silver embossing powders.  I sprinkled on the embossing powders radiating outwards from the center. It's quite sparkly in person!  The sentiment is heat-embossed as well. 

Here are some photos showing the layering.  Can you see the Glossy Accents?  I added it randomly in droplets around the card. All products used are listed below.

• Clear stamps:  Butterfly (Clearly Besotted Flight of Fancy) sentiment (Clearly Besotted Framed Sentiments)
• Ink:  Versamark
• Embossing powders:  The Artful Stamper Aegean Silver, Wow Metallic Silver Sparkle, Wow Iced Silver
• Dies;  Gina Marie Designs Scalloped Square Frame, Clearly Besotted Flight of Fancy
• Other:  Glossy Accents, Silver enamel dots from my stash

I was inspired by the sketch at Great Impressions:

Hope to get around to visit your blogs soon!
