I have been out of my stamp room for over a week and needed a stamping jump start.  One way I do that is to participate in stamping challenges.  I have done  Technostamper's  challenges in the past so I  decided to start with her sketch.

Here is the Technostamper sketch.  

I was pretty faithful to the sketch except I changed the orientation from portrait to landscape.   I used some of my very favorite new paper, Pretty Petals DSP stack, the gorgeous Watercolor Wings stamp set and the Bold Butterfly framelits.

This butterfly  is a 3 step stamp.  First I stamped the bold/solid image in Blushing Bride.  The second stamp (defines the outer edges) I inked up in Calypso Coral ink and stamped off once before stamping.  The third image was inked again with Calypso Coral ink and stamped full strength.

I wanted to add a little sparkle to the card so I embossed the butterfly with Iridescent Ice embossing powder.  I wonder when there will be a glitter setting on my camera?
