Butterfly Birthday Fusion

Hey there and Happy Tuesday!

Today's card is inspired by the Fusion #4 challenge:

I am really lovin' these new challenges where you have the choice of using the sketch, the color combo or fuse them both!

This week, I chose to fuse them together, and here's my take on it:

The bg is SU! Basic Black, and then I embossed some SU! Whisper White using the Cuttlebug Birds and Swirls folder.

I stamped the butterfly, cut it in half, then colored it in using my CTMH Markers, Prisma Watercolor Pencils and added some Icicle Stickles for bling.

Those little butterflies are from a small punch I recently bought from Studio G, and I added tiny black pearls to finish them off.

I really like how it turned out with clean lines and a pop of color.

Thanks for stopping by today!
