I found the pp in a pack I had purchased years ago but no coral paper around. Then I noticed that I had sponged my copper stencil butter on an envelope and it looked more coral than copper in such a thin coat. SO after dry embossing some texture on a slip of paper I sponged the copper stencil butter with a little white glue and water on a flat dauber and add this color to the textured white cs. The water and glue give the butter a much longer spread time and create interesting swirls to this homemade shimmer paper. Trimmed both pieces and attached. Sponged the sage color on the Silhouette cut sentiment mat layer and heat embossed the top words with white gloss embossing powder. The white butterflies were an after thought when my husband said it had the perfect feel of spring. I did add sage marker to some of the pp leaves because they were too turquoise. And then I had to add some white highlights back in.
Thanks for sharing your time with me, now I am sharing this with:

Thanks Gerry, was not the best pp till I colored the leaves a darker sage instead of the turquoise the paper came in.

Thanks Deb, not sure why I don’t use my pp more often. I don’t have tons of it but enough that it should at least be considered.
