Inspired by: Rainbows_Darlene's Blog Candy

This week at Creative Inspirations Paint we are being inspired by rainbows.  For this card, I used a tutorial called 'Glossy Paper' by Kassi at CIP to create the shimmery rainbow border. 

I used a 2" piece of glossy cardstock for each color and then used an MS punch.  I stamped the butterflies on the same paper and now I have some gloriously shimmery butterflies that don't need anything else but some bling for their bodies.

The stamped sentiment is an old stamp from Stampendious.  I added some faux stitching around the die cut.  There are 2 ribbons; one with some stitching and a yellow satin.  I used the swiss dots embossing folder on the background.

sunshine, burnt clay, fuchsia, amethyst, tanzanite (blue), green olive and mint mixture
