Pinkfresh and SSS

I almost forgot to post the first card I made for the July Pinkfresh Studio Challenge which closes tomorrow.  
I silver embossed PFS Folk Snowflake and then brushed Altenew Arctic, Caribbean Sky and Persian Blue inks through the matching stencils.  You can see the embossing shine in my IG video.  The sentiment is from the same set.  I added low profile clear dots, so still flat for mailing. 
It's Stencil Week at JUGS challenge and I didn't want to miss it this time.  I pulled out an old SSS stencil called Bouquet of Roses.  
The inks are Altenew Blush, Rouge, Crimson, Sweet Leaf, Just Green and Hunter Green.  I purposely let a bit of the green go into the roses, as I like "connecting" the leaves to the flowers.  The panel was splattered with Altenew Black Ink Spray and then covered with Heidi Swapp white Color Shine.  The shimmer is beautiful and you can kind of see it in my IG post video.  I matted the roses panel and the sentiment from PTI Essential Sentiments with silver metallic cardstock.  At the last minute, I decided to add one of the butterflies from SSS Stitching Butterflies die cut from vellum.  It looks much better in person--sorry the photo isn't better.  I'm also entering SSS Flickr 237.
