Hi there Bee Arters! For this entry I have included lots of die cut elements along with a beautiful butterfly embossed image that glistens from the amazing Colour Blast inks and mica powders. Unfortunately photos don't show just how gorgeous these products can look. I hope you give the Bee Arty Mica Powders a try, they are a very versatile product.

and small paint brush. Could add some
white to add more depth of colour.

paint. Add some black ‘splotches’ on
several spots on the cross and to top and bottom edges with a small brush
(loose strokes). Add some watery paint (Lime and Lemon) loosely along the
painted areas. Dry off.
