The first challenge is to use CAS and One Image + Optional twist Shimmer
And the second challenge was Monochromatic
First, I embossed the butterflies with clear embossing powder then used my Ziggies to watercolor both Avery Elle Butterflies.
My Bff, Colleen gave me the two background pieces so I do not know the name of them.
The yellow piece behind the butterfly was from my stash
I did use a little shimmer on the black portion of the wings but hard to see.
It was fun to make something other than a Christmas card.
