Tarnished Foil Butterfly

Since I figured out how cool this "Tarnished Foil" background technique is, I've been wanting to try it out with butterflies.  I like the steampunk feel of this card with the metallics.

Want to know how to make this background?  Hop on over to my blog post where I give a step-by-step tutorial, with pictures.

I thought I'd try out an embossed vellum piece on this card, just to see how it goes with the whole feel of the card.  I like that I can still see a hint of the background behind the vellum.

I mounted the tarnished background piece on Crumb Cake this time, hoping that it would make the metallics pop more.  I don't feel like it did, so.....experiment, failed. 

Overall, I am very happy how this card turned out, and I hope you love it too!
