Thrifty Thursday Cloisonne Technique Greeting Card

OK...it's not Thursday, but I found this tutorial  and had to try it!  What a perfect use for old magazines or scraps of paper!  I was inspired by the photo below.

I went through some old magazines, and here is what I came up with.
 My color base is Soft Suede and paired it with Taken with Teal and Whisper White.
 I love the loop border punch, so I used it again on this card.
 The butterfly is a $1 bin buy by Studio G, and the sentiment is from Perfect Punches by Stampin Up!

 I used tinted embossing ink, and gold embossing powder on the butterfly and then cut it out.
What do you think?  What will you come up with?
