This butterfly wasn't going to be acetate - I had planned to make a one layer card, with the butterfly heat embossed on the background, but then I got an urge, and you know what it's like when you get an urge....
I started with my blank card, masked off the edges and filled the space with blended inks in shades of orange, gold and brown. Then I used a large Crafters Companion collage stencil to lightly stencil all over the background in one of the orange shades, and used stamps from a recent Indigo Blu magazine kit to randomly stamp words and a tailoring pattern stamp over the background in brown.
This is the point where I was going to stamp and emboss the butterfly, also from the Indigo Blu set. But I felt it would have a bit more life to it if it was a separate layer, so instead I stamped and heat embossed it on acetate. As I heated it and watched my acetate curl and melt into a soggy mess, I remembered that I have a pack of heat embossable acetate.... So one more butterfly later, here is the finished card.
