One Layer Butterfly Thank You

I created this card for this week's challenge at Less Is More - create a one layer thank you card, easy enough right?

Well, apparently I am having one of those days. This should have been a relatively quick card to make. The beautiful Swallowtail stamp from SU does all the work for you (I can't believe I have had this stamp since March and this is the first time it has seen ink). This is my third attempt at this card, the first two having to be trashed because of the final step of drawing a simple black line around my card.

 

 I stamped the image with Versafine Onyx Black ink onto my card base and then heat embossed it with clear embossing powder. I created a mask to go around the butterfly by stamping the image in the middle of a piece of copy paper, cutting out the butterfly and then applying two way glue to the back around the edge of the cut out. Once the glue was dry I placed it over the image and sponged away. You can't really see it in the photo but I did add purple ink to the crescent shaped spaces at the bottom left. I heat embossed the sentiment as well.

Here is a pic showing some of the pretty shine on the image:
