Gilded butterfly

So....a Saturday or two ago I took my Mom to a demo at Crafty Bunch in Telford (great shop, full of so many pretties......), where Kay from Indigo Blu was showing lots of fab techniques and stamps and all sorts of gorgeousness.

Well, inspired to get my gilding flakes and flitter glue out, I made this.....


OK, the gilding isn't showing up on that photo.... how about this one?


Now I couldn't find my scoochy thingy to scrub off all of the excess flakes, but I really don't care, because it still looks fabulouso.
 

The butterfly is Stampin' Up and it's huuuuuuge. The finished card is a retirement card, so I kept the colours quite subtle, but then ruined the subtlety with 3/4 of a pack of blingy pearls....hey ho....not called Lisa Sparkle for nothing you know.

I'm entering this into the That's Crafty challenge, which is Anything Goes and the Papertake weekly challenge which is also Anything goes.
