Welcome to the final day of the blog hop! I hope you've been inspired by the design team this week.

Today I am sharing a card I made using the new Bearded Iris set along with Works of Art.  I started out by stamping the main image in memento black then coloring with prismacolor markers before stippling Tim Holtz tumbled glass and broken china distress inks over and around the images before layering.  Then I stamped an additional butterfly onto some white scrap card stock, colored, cut out and adhered using pop dots.  The background on the card was stamped using the oriental lettering from Works of Art in magenta ink directly onto the card before over stamping the saying.  I then added the layered image panel and some gold cord before spritzing an orchid marker onto the entire card.

Thanks for stopping by today.  Have a great day and don't forget to stop by the rest of the design team blogs to leave some love for a chance to win today's featured set.
