have a beautiful day...

Hello there!  I'm popping in with a card for a few challenges:  Simon Says Stamp Wednesday challenge (stencil it), Freshly Made Sketches and Simon Says Stamp flickr challenge (stencil it).  Back in March I purchased the April Simon Says Stamp card kit and one of the items in the kit was a beautiful butterflies stencil.  I had used lots of items from the kit, but not the stencil and so when I saw the two SSS challenges I knew just what stencil I would use for those two challenges.   I pulled out a piece of woodgrain cardstock and stenciled some of the butterflies on to it using BoBunny glitter paste in Buttercup.   There are also little dots in the stencil and so I used BoBunny glitter paste in pumpkin to stencil some dots randomly around the butterflies once the yellow glitter paste had dried.  I then had to figure out how I was going to use the panel and decided to use it for the FMS challenge.  Because I didn't want to completely cover up the panel that I had just stenciled with the beautiful glittery butterflies and dots I decided to use vellum.  I cut down a piece of vellum into a square and then stamped the sentiment from the SSS Beautiful Day stamp set and the leaf image on the vellum with VersaMark watermark ink and then embossed in white.  I then colored the back of the leaves with two green makers and adhered the panel using rolled up glue dots placed behind the stamping.  I finished off the card by adding some sequins in yellow (although some look green) in two sizes and tiny silver ones.

Hope you have a wonderful day!
