Butterfly Garden

Creative Accents has issued a challenge to use pastel pink, purple, green, & blue in an paper art piece or card.
 Whatever strikes your fancy. This is my 1st piece challenge where I'm going to try to link my blog to theirs. Cross your fingers! Oh, and you can't use anything that didn't come from your LSS. No home business(like SU) or mail order only site.  So  here's the supply list:
All paper is Bazzil Bling                                                     
Memory Box Die-Spring Border                         
Cuttlebug Embossing Die Set-Butterflies                                              
Cuttlebug Embossing Folder-Stylized Flowers                                
Distress Ink-Broken China,Worn Lipstick,Concord Grape                     
Rhinestones-1ea in descending size of 4 of 3 colors.                             
Ribbon-Michael's                                  
Saying-Lockhart Stamps

First you cut the  border, then glue it to the yellow card stock. Put the whole piece in the stylized flower folder and emboss. This is known as embedded embossing. Next cut out the butterflies & emboss them. Rub the matching ink over the top of the embossing. Add rhinestones with the biggest rhinestone at the top. This is to simulate the body. Then fold the wings in half over the body. You are going to put adhesive on only 1 wing. I know you can't see it. My camera is broken so I had to put it in the scanner. But the other wing on each butterfly looks like they're fluttering. Lastly I stamped the saying and added the bow.
