I started by making a background with Distress Inks using the wrinkle free technique. I stamped the words from Tim Holtz Papillion set with Versamark and then clear embossed them. I applied some more Distress Ink before putting the background between two sheets of copy paper and ironing it to melt and remove the embossing powder. It left me with bluey purple words - not the result I was expecting! I think it's because my Versamark ink pad is rather grubby. The butterflies were stamped, cut out and glittered and then attached to the background with silicone glue to give a three dimensional effect before adding pearls and die cut corners.

Grubby Versamark inkpad syndrome... I thought I was being careful with my new pad but it turned dirty in a matter of weeks! Thankfully in your case, purple and blue don't jar and the background looks rather nice. Love the butterflies too, such a great stamp set from CI.
I think it is fabulous and I too have had problems keeping an embossing ink pad clean!It has worked well here!! Thank you for joining in The Craft Barn Challenge.
