This is so amazingly beautiful. Your white embossing is so pretty and serene, and I love the look of that sponged ink. Something about butterflies makes them perfect for all sorts of soothing cards.
Fab embossing & love the stamping on cark Tracey :)
Lovely card, beautiful paper. Hugs Bev x
Very pretty Tracey. Love how the inking fades out.
Oh la la...the touch of inking on the embossed background is gorgeous! So glad you played along at CASE Study.

Love all the texture Tracey!
Love the fading out sponging - clever idea and so much interest!
Tracey...wow, your card is just stunning! So soft and sweet but that butterfly seems to set the tone of your card, like Joyce said, serene. I am going to have give this a try too. Just gorgeous!
Hey Tracey, first of all your card is so beautiful. I love it and thank you for the nice comment on my Hexagon card. So sweet of you! Hugs, Bev

Stunning! I love the subtle sponging amid the embossed images.
Tracey this is gorgeous, VERY WELL DONE!!!
Great embossing details Tracey! Love the color combo as well. :)
Love the way the embossed background turned out! love the faded green too, beautiful!
Wow, Tracey! This is gorgeous! I love the embossed background and how you sponged only part of that! And the color of that butterfly is gorgeous! So perfect against that background!
Really pretty. Love how you chose to only color a portion of the background!
I really love that sponged look Tracey. I really need to try it and i also love that you stamped on cork!
My sponging never looks this smooth. How did you sponge it?
What an amazing card, Tracey! WOW! Love the look you created with the emboss resist. Very pretty!
Wonderful CASE, Tracey! Love your choice of colors, too!

WOW! This is absolutely stunning! I love the soft green ink - gives it an ombre feeling. Soooo pretty! I'm so glad you shared this and now I need to pin it! :-)
Really lovely, the embossing is so pretty and I love how you sponged just part of the background! The butterfly is a perfect accent!
Oh, this is gorgeous, Tracey! I love the white embossing and how you inked over part of it-- so lovely!
Another great idea! Having the shading go from white to color is so interesting! And perfect for a sympathy card.
Tracey, I have this Hero Arts background stamp and LOVE what you have done with it here! Ths is GORGEOUS!!!
Love the gradient feel, what a great idea.
a gorgeous example of how detail can dress up a card but not take it over. perfectly cas design!
