Second Try at Emerging Colour Challenge

Or maybe it should be first as this is the first piece that I made for the challenge at The Technique Twist. I didn't like it because the original piece was the size of the main card. I decided to cut it down and it looks much better as a topper. I've followed this layout from Tuesday Morning Sketches

I stamped the background stamp (Friendly by Stampin Up) with Seedless Preserves Distress Ink and then stamped the butterfly with Versamark and embossed it with clear powder. The stamp is from the Chocolate Baroque Tangles Garden set and is the smallest of the three butterflies in the set. I've then gone over it with Dusty Concord and Victorian Velvet Distress inks and added some ,ore Seedless Preserves around the edges. I wanted something lighter for the background and found this piece but I'm not sure what make it is. I didn't want to add another layer of card so I've used the DI around the edges to frame it. I've used a piece of dusky pink card from my scraps folder and cut it into the flag shape and embossed it with a butterfly embossing folder (not sure of the make as it was a freebie with a magazine). I've gone around the edges and over the embossing with Seedless Preserves. The sentiment is by Lily of The Valley, stamped onto scrap card, cut out with a Marianne tag die and coloured with DI. Some ribbon (from a jumper) and Card Candi to finish. I also popping this over to Pixie's Crafty Snippets Playground - why not pop over and see what the other inmates playmates are up to
