Hi there, Diane with you today!

I have a few fun products I used to share with you today!

First, I started with a Memory Box Texture Splatter stencil,

using a Gold metallic ink and TH Distress ink Broken China.

I applied the ink with the Mini Ink Blending Tool .

I got even more creative by applying VersaMark to

Our Daily Bread butterfly branch from the Faith  stamp set,

then embossing with Frantage Embossing Powder.

The color I used was Shabby Blue, 4 colors come in the set.

A couple of quick tips are to use the Anti Static Bag

on your card stock before applying the VersaMark.

This helps to keep the embossing powder to stick only where you want it.

Also, in using Frantage, it is best to heat from beneath your stamped image.

I do have a matching die for this stamp, and I used it.

Though not in store right now, Beverly can order it for you.

I next cut an oval to mount my butterflies on using

Spellbinders Floral Ovals.

I popped both the butterflies and the oval with

Joy! Crafts Large Foam Pads.

I guess, I was so much into the embossing, that I also

used Sparkle N Sprinkle Gold Detail  fine embossing powder

for the sentiment, which is from JustRite Hope and Love stamp set!

This was a very easy card to make.

I think it took me longer to put all the supplies away,

then the actual card making..lol!

Thank you for visiting with me today!
