Hi there one and all, well lobbing in for very very quick post, as over at Mrs A's Butterfly Challenge it is U is for Underneath and/or Umber!
Yup, it surely sounds hard doesn't it? But curiously, as was musing on it when I was doing something else, an idea flashed into my head! As is my wont when this happens, I scribbled a layout sketch and description on the back of an envelope. I have of course been totally flat strap with a list way longer than any arm, but pressed ahead on this at night instead of TV.

So
here my "desk", or actually kitchen bench, dining room side. I was
working on a "must do" chart for the church on dining table (only place it
fitted) and this in between.
I
stamped two sheets of vellum with gold butterflies, laid out on Mini
misti, sure makes it easier. They were small set by Kaisercraft and
larger set of butterfly clear stamps by Stampendous, done in versamark
then heat embossed in gold.
I coloured UNDERNEATH the vellum in two variations of colours, the UMBER, orange and yellow Tombows. The purple mauve and pink variation - I have a friend ( birthday 28 Feb.) who loves butterflies and purple. As I was colouring I thought I'd do the umber one into a sympathy card, which was of the Lord, as I needed one to give out this morning at church so it's already gone. |

| Here I am using PanPastels (Raw Umber) on the embossed verse by Stampendous from 1994, and price on is $14.95, which over twenty years ago was lot more than now. Curious, too, how varied the colour umber is according to whether it is Burnt Umber, Raw Umber or just Umber. |

The verse is one from early 1990's Revelation 21:4
"And
God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no
more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more
pain:" I stamped embossed it onto a snippet, the gold edges are snippets good embossed, and the SB Peitite Ovals are scrap cards also gold embossed. |

Lord bless you and your dear ones wherever you may be!

Fabulous gold butterflies, so gorgous!! Great card!
How pretty! I really like the colors you use and the way you colored from underneath. It looks really lovely with the golden embossing.
Wow Shaz, this is really pretty and so classy looking. I love the shading of the butterflies done from underneath. Brilliant idea. Thankyou so much for taking time out to flutterby my challenge. Hugs Mrs A.
Beautiful idea the cards with the butterflies in gold on vellum. The colours behind really make the card look wonderful.
Oh my is that beautiful, the colors behind that gold embossing is just lovely, I am sure your friend is going to LOVE this as I am sure those who needed a sympathy card were very touched!
Oh Shaz these are wonderful cards - and how wonderful that you made a sympathy card and needed it so soon afterwards - definitely a God thing!
Blessings
