Mojo Monday #170 Challenge

I haven't played this one in a long while, so I thought I'd whip up a card to enter! The layout looked simple enough....but I did struggle with it a bit. That's why it's fun to do these challenges - it makes you stretch a bit, lol!

My card for this week's consideration:
Recipe:
Stamps: French Script, Perfect Punches
Ink: Marina Mist, Baja Breeze, Going Gray, Barely Banana, Versamark
Paper: Whisper White, Marina Mist, Baja Breeze, Luxury DSP
Accessories: white pearls, polka dot embossing folder, gold embossing powder, dimensionals, ribbon, glass glitter

I did something new for the paper used to make the butterflies! I used gold heat embossing with a large French Script background stamp on white paper, and then used sponge daubers to put a bit of color on it randomly (Marina Mist, Baja Breeze, Barely Banana and Going Gray). I love how it turned out!!

Cute idea for the butterflies. That does look a little tricky for a shape challenge. Good luck! You make such nice cards! :)
