Glittery Grungy Swallowtail. ..

This card was a stretch for me.....out of my comfort zone.....I have a hard time combining grunge and glittery gold embossing.

First I stamped the Swallowtail image in Versamark ink on White cardstock.  Then I heat set it with gold embossing powder.

Using various Stampin Write Markers I colored in the butterfly

Next I stamped the greeting in Early Espresso Ink

Finally it was time to "grunge" it up using Gorgeous Grunge stamp set, a dry paint brush and assorted neutral color inks.

Not too sure on this one....the jury is still out.....like I said.....out of my comfort zone.
