For my final card this week I am still using the same pattern paper pad by Fancy Pants titled Parkbench.
I decided to use this wonderful butterfly image from the SMAK kit from July 2012. I have to say that the size of the images in this particular kit are among my favorites for cards as well as other mixed media projects!!!
For this card I started by covering my cardbase with all the leftover pattern paper scraps from my other projects from the week. I inked the edges of the pieces to give them some depth. I then stamped the butterfly image onto white cardstock. Using the same Copic marker colors I've been using all week I colored the image and background. I then mounted the image onto a scrap of black cardstock and then used foam tape to adhere it to my card base.
I love how it turned out and it really did complete the collection of cards I created for the week.
Here is an image of all the cards from my entire week together:
