Today’s card is being featured on Stylin’ Stampin’ Inkspiration. The challenge was to create using some of the elements below. This month I went with three of the elements: Monochromatic, Single Layer, and Heat Embossing.

I grabbed four coordinating inks from the red family (Blushing Bride, Melon Mambo, Rose Red, and Real Red) and went to two layering elements from a few different stamp sets. For most of the background images, I stamped off before stamping on the Whisper White sheet. This helped balance the colors and ink saturation. As a last touch, I heat embossed the edges of the large butterfly with gold embossing powder. A nice challenge for this week!
