Welcome to Day 9 of the Artisan Finalist Blog Hop.

Today I’m showing the last card entry I used for the Artisan Contest.

I started by dry embossing the edge on the front of the card, and I added the strips of DSP before cutting out the front window.  Then I closed the card and decided where I wanted to place the butterflies and greeting.  I stamped them in Versamark, and then I heat embossed in Whisper White embossing powder.  I did the emboss resist technique by using different inks with a sponge around the embossed image so that the butterflies show up.  I finished by embossing the greeting in Melon Mambo ink and adding a few pearls to the butterflies.

Check out what Elizabeth has to share today by clicking next, and be sure to come back tomorrow for the final day of our blog hop.  I saved the best for last.
