Swallowtail take two!

 

I decided to get a little more colorful with the butterfly today! I still embossed the main image in basic black embossing powder just like I did yesterday.  I used a background of First Edition specialty paper.  I then used my blender pens and ink pads to color in the butterfly.  I feel that you can get more tones with the blender pens than regular markers if you are doing large areas.  For example I made the areas in the center darker than the outer edges.  The yellow I choose is Summer Starfruit, and the other colors are Gumball Green and Midnight Muse.

I used Basic Grey as a background layer to my main image, I love how it looks with Summer Starfruit.  Some scalloped edges and ribbon scraps finished the card. 

On this version I added some ribbon scraps in Midnight Muse and Summer starfruit to the grey ribbon.
