From the new Technique Junkies newsletter, I used a background technique ..... that I had to try- called Copic Color Double embossing. It involves Copics, an embossing folder and embossing powder. I used 4 families of the sketch sets- Sunshine, Tea Rose, Spring Leaf and Teal.
I used my die set in different way too- I cut out the white layer, then sandwiched two dies together to make the outer frame:
How fun, Huh?
I colored the images with the same Copic colors, and used Fairy Dust Creative Inspirations Paint on the butterfly image.

Lovely card, Shelly! The butterfly and daffodils are so pretty! Did you ever see my FB post/photos on the hummingbird moth? They were attracted to the daffodils in my yard. 16 years and that is the first time I have seen such a beautiful "bug."
WOW on that background, Shelly! I love the way you did the frame around the image using the two dies together. I'm definitely going to have to try that.
It's so cute!!
Shelly, this is so sweet for spring!
Love your design and the Copic Color Double embossing technique you used. Love the coloring on the Daffodil floral image and the soft variety of colors you used. Awesome!!
Beautiful card, great colouring in, thanks for sharing it in the Brown Sugar challenge.
