I used the stamp set Monarch Butterfly Collection to create my card.

          

Embossing Delight Card Recipe

This lovely butterfly collection from Fred She Said Designs is pre colored which saves me time.  I printed the butterfly collection from Word which produced a full sheet of beautiful butterflies.  I put my Brother Scan n Cut to work and that wonderful machine cut out each butterfly for me.  In the meantime, I used an old background stamp from Hero Arts to create my watercolor canvas.  I stamped the background in Versamark Ink and heat embossed with white embossing powder.  It has been a while since I've used heat embossing, but it is a classic technique that produces great results.  I'd watched a video earlier on how to easily watercolor so I put the new information into action.  I used my Tombow markers to color a Ziploc baggie.  I spritzed it with water and laid my watercolor card stock down on the Ziploc bag.  And there you see the result.  Stunning.  I will be using that trick again.  The sentiment is from My Favorite Things and the enamel dots just seemed to be the topping that was needed to finish off the card. 

Get out those embossing folders or that Versamark Ink and embossing powder to create a card to enter in the challenge at Creative Knockouts for a chance to win.
