Butterfly Trio Card with Freshly Made Sketch #651

Guest Designing for Heart's Quest Celebration of Love Challenge #8

Several weeks ago I created a wedding card and entered it into a relatively new challenge called Heart's Quest Celebration of Love. My card was selected as a top pick and I was invited to be a Guest Designer for Challenge #8.  How exciting for me!

My sparkly card features a very old wooden Close to my Heart stamp which was embossed with Black Tinsel embossing powder. It was layered over a Black Shimmer paper and then Gold Foil.  The gold foil bottom border was cut from a sheet of "Marsh Flower" Recollections paper.  This elegant card came together very quickly!

Here is another photograph showing how sparkly this card is under light.
