Method:
Saw Sue Wilson demo this on Create and Craft.
Randomly, ink some white card stock with coloured distress inks using cut and dry foam. Use small "blotches" of colour, make it as crazy as you want. Use colours to suit your taste.
Dry thoroughly with a heat gun, and use an anti-static bag before next step.
Stamp the swirl using perfect medium. Pour over gold embossing powder, remove excess with a paintbrush if necessary. Heat set with a heat tool.
Using the same swirl, stamp again with perfect medium filling in the gaps. This time use clear embossing powder. Tap off excess and heat set.
Now the scary bit. Rub the black soot ink pad directly over the top of your beautiful work. Panic not. Use a piece of kitchen paper to rub ink off the embossed areas.
Hey presto!
For the butterfly, I created another piece of random coloured card and die cut a butterfly. I also cut one in gold mirror too to layer up the butterfly, but this is optional. Adhere it to the card where you think it looks best.
Finally, mat and layer, mount on to a card blank. Add a sentiment as desired. I used petite labels from Spellbinders D-lites range, with sentiment stamp from Claritystamps.
