I started by embossing the music background on white cardstock with clear embossing powder. I then sponged yellow and orange inks to cover. Next came the butterfly from Key to Joy, embossed in white. Finally, I sponged green around the butterfly, letting the orange and yellow show through the central image. Trimmed, matted and layered on an old olive card base. The "happy" sentiment is from the {ippity} set A Little Buggy. I made this a while ago for my friend Emily's birthday, and for some reason it hadn't made it to my blog yet! So here it is. :P
Hope your weekend is off to a great start!

Gorgeous card! The double embossing is so cool.
Hey, that is super cool! I've never seen that technique before. The sponging is fantastic. Beautiful card, Lindsey!
I've never tried double embossing. This is beautiful! I may need to try that. I'm planning on making a card for the WCMD Unity embossing challenge this weekend.

Beautiful card. Great technique.
That is so cool! I've never seen this technique before either, but I love it! The butterfly just pops - and I love the textured look to the sentiment :)
Your colours are lovely and your double embossing worked beautifully. That 'happy' sentiment is really cute and links in so well with the music staff.
