One of my sweet stamping friends Lisa had gifted me some foil plates and dies that she wasn't using anymore, and I had fun using this current color pairing with a background foil plate and butterfly die. Take a look...
I used Silver Speckled Prism foil (Spellbinders) with the foil plate for my background, and then used the coordinating stencils that Lisa had also sent to color in this Deco Diamond (Poppystamps) design with blue ink. There were 3 stencils, so it was easy to get the 3 shades of blue into all those tiny spaces!
Lisa had also sent Poppystamps Large Stained Glass Butterfly dies and I cut the top layer from some glittery silver cs and then the solid piece behind from a pink blended piece of cs that I also splattered with some water and pink ink. I also brushed a bit of blue around the edges of the solid pink piece of the butterfly for a bit of contrast. I added 3 clear gems (Trinity Stamps) to the center of the butterfly and popped up on foam tape my pre printed Thank You sentiment from Gina K. A very simple card, but I really like the way it turned out. It's a lot more sparkly in real life!! :0)

What a fabulous way to use these colors! The background is really amazing. It looks just like one of those very expensive sets of Birch Press dies. They're cool, but this is even more fabulous to my eyes. Lovely gifts from Lisa!
Gorgeous take on blue/pink with that yummy background and butterfly, Marcia!!
Marcia, I am enthralled with your stunning card! The background is gorgeous and the stencils highlight the pretty blues you chose. I love the butterfly best - your inking and details make this card and my colors shine!
Those products were meant for you judging by this card, Marcia. The trio of blues look wonderful in the geometric style and that silver and pink butterfly is gorgeous.
Wonderful shine and pretty colors -- it's a great card, Marcia!
This is even prettier in person, Marcia! I'm so happy you're enjoying those goodies. They're in good hands, my friend xo
That butterfly is gorgeous, but look at that background! WOW! It is so cool and well executed. Wonderful job with the colors, Marcia and that Lisa, she is such a sweetie!
Lucky you to get given these fab goodies the background looks fab and I can imagine that you'll get lots of use from it too. :)
What a lovely background for your beautiful butterfly. You made good use of your goodies.
Love that background, Marcia! The stenciled blues harmonize so beautifully! And a pretty butterfly on top! Stamping friends are the best and most generous!
