This card is for 2 challenges:1. Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge - MMSC48 - found here: http://www.priscillastyles.blogspot.com/; and
2. Splitcoaststampers' Color Challenge - CC265 - found here: http://www.splitcoaststampers.com/forums/showthread.php?t=486459.
The main image and the Happiness symbol are both digital. I printed them, then used my Versamark pen and clear embossing powder to emboss them. Sprayed over the embossed images with turquoise shimmer mist, although it doesn't show up that well in the photo. IRL it's very pretty. Cuttlebugged the other panels, added some gold cording, stamped the little coins on the soft suede paper and heat embossed with detail gold powder and cut them out and mounted them on little pop dots. Cut butterfly with embosslits and wrapped gold cording around for body and antennae. Used my gold paint pen around the edges, and here you go.

Valerie, the first thing that caught my eye was all of the beautiful embossing you have done on this card. I know that takes time, but it is so worth it for your beautiful project. The MMDT thanks you for sharing and playing along with our challenge this week. We hope to see you back again real soon. Tracy

Hi Valerie, how's it going down there in Orlando. I haven't been there in a while and am getting the itch to go...LOL Last time I went was with my son for Halloween Horror Nights at Universal Studios. There's nothing like a ride on the Incredible Hulk to awake my senses!!LOL This week you have outdone yourselves. I had to click to enlarge your card as I thought you had real pennies on there...lol How beautifully done from the dry embossing to the shiny embossing. Just spectacular. Thanks so much for playing along with us this week at the Midnight Madness Sketch Challenge. It is always a pleasure for me to visit and absorb so inspiration from your creativity!
Bear Hugs,
