Today's card was so much fun to make because I was trying to fulfill guidelines set out by several challenges. I had some acetate left over from a package that dies come in, so I recycled it and ran it through a Darice Sheet Music EF, then inked it with white so it would show up better. The background paper is blue with white polka dots. I used a technique called "kissing," which I learned about at Time out Challenges (please see link below to read about it). A liquid pearl was added to the butterfly and the center of the flower; foliage was die cut from a Spellbinders Sprigs die.
All in all, it was lots of fun to make, and really stretched my imagination, especially the part of recycling something.
