Decided I wanted the sentiment to be darker so I went over it with a Certainly Celery marker.  Also, added certainly celery marker to the bottom of the butterfly wings.

I like to use Metallic Sharpie markers to out line a layer to give the appearance of another layer without the weight.  Much cheaper than buying metallic cardstock too.

    Michelle,
    Thank you for starting my day with sunshine and butterflies. Thank you for your detailed photos and directions. I have learned so much from your beautiful creations. It has been so long since I used some of your techniques. We tend to leap to the latest and greatest and forget the tried and true. I am excited to get out my versa mark pad. My creations will never have your level of artistry but I am ready to try.

    As always a very clear easy to follow tutorial. I hope that maybe one day you’ll collect all your tutorials together and either put them onto a CD or even maybe even use them in a book that we could buy. It’s very rare to find someone who is a natural at explaining and showing how something can be done. I don’t know if you take your own pictures but they certainly a great resource in their own right.

    Many thanks Michelle from someone who appreciates what you are doing.

  4. That is beautiful! Love the way you incorporated the Cuttlebug die! I have the cuttlebug but haven’t seen that one before! The whole effect of the card is breath taking.

    I love all of your tutorials and I am still amazed that your brayering doesn’t seem to get the lines that mine always get. I think that some of my problem is that I have only stampin spots and not full stampin pads. It does make my brayering more difficult. But even with the lines, my projects look pretty good, thanks to your sharing of your techniques. Thanks so much. I look forward to every card and tutorial. Keep up the great work!!!! You are an inspiration. 🙂

    Great card and excellent tutorial. You always explain things so well, that I never feel like your tutorials are impossible to even think about attempting. You also do a great job at covering all the questions before they get/need to be asked.

  11. I have just found your blog. I think from Amy’s blog, (like aren’t there a ton of Amy’s out there??? *eyeroll*) Fantastic! Your tutorials are so clear each step of the way! I added your blog to my Google Reader so I won’t miss a post!

    BTW, do you own stock in Post-It Notes? LOL! ;D

    On the serious side, when you side down to make a card do you see the finished card or do you just add a little of this then that and it turns out awesome? There are so many details to each layer or section of your cards it is amazing!

    I found your blog tonight from a link in your SCS gallery. When I first saw your cards, I thought “That is gorgeous, but so beyond my abilities!” But your tutorials are Amazing! It may take a while, but I will give these a try!

    Time to buy a brayer!!!
