Just Because Modeling

This card is created for Joan's Touch, Challenge #10--something from nature, purple and white, and distressed edges were the challenges for this week.  Here I tried out a metal sunflower stencil from Silhouette # SIL 1132.  I brushed on the German product by Viva called Modeling Cream (Pearl).  I'd never tried this before and made several tries before I got a nice impression. (HINT:  Don't let the modeling cream dry and stick your stencil to your paper!)  I used a Tim Holtz Edge Distressing Tool, for edges of all layers.   The little butterfly charm is a Creative Impressions butterfly paper fastener. The embossing Folder I used is M-Bossabilities EL-005 that I got at Joans Gardens, along with the E-Bosser electric embossing machine that I just LOVE, and I heat embossed (with white opaque EP) a stamp from the Just Rite Large Fancy Sentiment stamps that I also got at Joan's Gardens.  The royal purple paper is from SU.
