A Bright Thank You

I was busy last week with some custom orders and Christmas cards. I decided to do bright pink and yellow today and accidentally created a nice effect with the background.

I wanted to do tone-on-tone, adding a die cut to my background panel and then running it through my "Thank You" Cuttlebug folder. The embossing was too busy and my die cut wasn't showing very well. I ran it through "Swiss Dots," thinking it would flatten the previous embossing. Here's where the accidental creation comes in...it did somewhat flatten the previous embossing and I thought it was interesting.



The photo doesn't exactly show the subtlety of the first embossing, but you can see the dots and part of the die cut (the cursive "thank").


 
I added a 3 layer butterfly with pink Liquid Pearls on the body. I love how it turned out and the brightness of the colors!
