A few of us have been busy trying the technique if you have time check out the following blogs

Sorry if I missed anyone, and I'm sure there will be a few more popping up over the next few days.
My first few attempts failed but I did manage this butterfly before I overheated and killed my heat tool. In the video Marion touches the parchment with her heat tool to melt the powder below. Mine being my very first purchase as a card maker, so now pretty old just couldn't handle the extra heat and it just stopped working.
When I peeled my butterfly off the paper I should have used a spatula, but didn't so he lost his antennae. I die cut a second in black and layered them.
My background is a Bo Bunny plank stamp which I inked in 3 colours of distress oxide ink. I've had this stamp for years and this is the first time it's been inked. It's so much fun finding stamps in your stash.

Your butterfly looks wonderful. I did see Nancy's lovely bird, then after watching the video she shared (which I couldn't get the entire video) searched Youtube for Marion and the Faux enamel. This looks like a fun project & it certainly yielded an impressive result. (I think I've now got the supplies to try to do it!) I think your pretty faux enamel butterfly looks so pretty resting on the nicely colored, distressed wood! Well done! TFS
This is fabulous, Christine - the faux enameling turned out so well, and the colours are lovely. I'm glad you kept the background really simple so that the butterfly could take centre stage.
Gorgeous! You did awesome with this technique. I love the variations you got in your butterfly. I still don’t notice the missing antennas even after you mentioned it. The wood background is a fabulous choice. Love this.
You should enter this in the current CASology challenge, which closes in 9 hrs.

Sorry to hear about the heating tool, but your butterfly turned out to be gorgeous!! The colors are beautiful and they blended just like real butterfly wings patterns. I think the layered die-cut black antennae actually look better - a happy accident. :-) The plank stamp is perfect for the butterfly and I love that you used multiple inks. Hideko xx
Well, Christine, before giving up the ghost, your heating tool certainly managed to help you create an incredible butterfly! The colours in those wings are indescribably lovely. Love the background and sentiment, too. I must try this technique. It sounds difficult but I love those results. Thanks so much for joining our Watercooler Wednesday Challenge this week.
This is a fantastic butterfly, Christine! I wish I could feel it! Love the plank stamp! That's a perfect landing place for your butterfly!
Such a unique effect with this fun technique. Gorgeous butterfly and glad you've inked up that plank stamp as it looks great x Sorry you lost the original antenna's for that beautiful butterfly...LOL x

Wow, this is gorgeous. I need to check out that technique. It makes for a stunning card. Thanks so much for playing along at CASology this week.
Oh my Christine. This butterfly looks so artistic and beautiful. The technique is new to me and inspiring. Thanks so much for joining us at the Watercooler Wednesday "Feminine Anything Goes" challenge this week.
This is so gorgeous Christine! Hope you get a new heat tool soon. My old one actually worked better than my newer one. Go figure. I love the neutral tones with the touch of purple in this butterfly. Very pretty!
You struggled a lot, but you got an amazing effect. And the card is so elegant, really beautiful, Christine!
Just gorgeous, Christine ... and so worth all the anguish ... that butterfly is beautiful and elegant ... what a fabulous technique! Congratulations on your shout out at Watercooler Wednesday with this beauty! Anita :)
