Is this not gorgeous? And intricate. It takes a lot of patience to make a card like that - all those tiny pieces of paper to glue on. I made a similar card but I must admit I cheated.
Can you tell? I first stamped the PTI Beautiful Butterfly on my cardstock. I used Tumbled Glass, Shabby Shutters and Forest Moss Distress inks that I misted before stamping. Then (and this is the secret) I cut the Harlequin Coverplate and glued it over the image. It gives the illusion without all the pieces. I stamped and embossed the Technique Tuesday sentiment on Ripe Avocado. I didn't like the straight piece of paper across the bottom so I cut around the words. I'm not sure I like this either but it's better than it was.
*don't look at the little bump on the left. I didn't notice it until the picture was on the screen so I've put it under something heavy to flatten it down.
Thanks for stopping by.

Such a clever idea to overlay the die cut.... now why didn't I think of that lol. What a wonderful card Bobby!
Hey Bobby! I love your idea of lying the die cut on top of the butterfly. Nicely done.
Very clever idea. Turned out beautifully!
What a lovely card Bobby, just great!

I love how you've created a similar look with the 'other' part of the die - so glad you joined us at Muse this week, Bobby!
Mmm, clever, Bobby ... the trellis over the top of the butterfly ... so pretty! Anita :)
Great take on the Muse card, Bobby! Love your inked butterfly :)
Fantastic card, Bobby!! Brilliant idea to use an overlay...might have to try that myself! Love the colors too --so pretty. Wonderful card. Bev
Delightful!!! ... I hope you join this week!!!
Very clever way to shortcut that mosaic look. I love the way you inked that stamp--the colors look so dreamy.
