Polka dots! How could you have a set featuring patterned butterflies without polka dots! (In case you didn’t already know, polka dots are my FAVORITE thing!) I stamped the butterfly shadow with chalk ink (love how the chalk ink works with large solid images like this. The stamped image ends up stamping perfectly even with no streaking or puddling), heat set it, then stamped the polka-dot overlay with Versamark and added turquoise Perfect Pearls. The shimmer & shine looks so AMAZING in person! The background was created by stamping the large and medium solid dots in Versamark on green patterned paper (Lime Swirl from Shabby Princess Collection by Bo-Bunny Press) and then brushing them with prefect Pearls. I sketched a swirled "flight path" with pencil and used my paper piercer to punch the holes. I then carefully erased the pencil marks. The "Heartfelt thanks" sentiment is one of my favorites, well, actually I think the ENTIRE set is my favorite! I haven’t mentioned yet that these butterflies have a perfectly portioned 2.25 inch wing span. They aren’t too big and they aren’t too small. This size really makes them so versatile! One more patterned butterfly tomorrow! Can you guess what "basic" is left?

Oh My! You are killing me over here. I need to have it all!
The technique you used is perfect and looks amazing!
Polka dots are my favorite too!! I try so hard to step out of the “polka dot box” when paper shopping and still end up with more papers with polka dots on them!! I guess you can’t have too many! Awesome card…thanks for sharing. I love your blog!
Can’t wait, can’t wait, can’t wait!
I am a butterfly fanatic, this is torture!!!
I am not too sure but you have convinced me that I need the fluid chalks after seeing these. I think we may see triangles. Can’t wait for tomorrow. waymo
I think this card is my fave of the butterfly series. I just mused aloud on my blog about why they call polka dots polka dots and got real answers in the comments!! Very interesting. I LOVE polka dots and this butterfly is gorgeous.
YUMMIEST of colors! Love the “pearls” idea for added color. Can’t even imagine what design could be left besides SQUARES!
I can’t even begin to guess!! anything would be great at this point you ahve proved that very well!! I cannot wait till the 15th!

Love it, Nichole! (And I have a sneaking suspicion that I might know who your next addition to the DT is! She is so amazingly talented!!!) 🙂
