Flourishes' Timeless Tuesday #221

Hi there everybody!  I am back with Flourishes' Timeless Tuesday Challenge for today.  The theme is butterflies and our hostess is Jenny.  You can find out all of the details of Flourishes' Timeless Tuesday Challenge #221  here.  We would love it if you could play along this week!   Don't have any Flourishes' stamps?  No problem!  You can still play along and still be eligible to win a prize....and honestly, I don't know a card maker out there that doesn't have a stash of butterflies somewhere.....so really, come on!  :)  Anyways, here is my card for this week and if you look closely....yep, it's that gold leafing pen again....I just can't help myself!  I did find out something really neat...if you gold leaf the paper you can then take a file and distress it and it gives you a cool aged look.  I have a close up below that you can see it better but I loved the way it turned out.

  I used a few stamp sets for this card: Spring Blossoms, Gerber Daisies, and Tulips for Friends.  I stamped the butterfly twice and fussy cut it out then popped up one of the wings to give it dimension.  All of the images were colored with Copics.  I used a couple of different Spellbinders dies.  The card base was made with Spellbinders' Timeless Rectangle and it has always reminded me of a butterfly so I thought it would be perfect for this card!  Anyways, I am so glad you were able to stop by and I wish you would take a look at what the other designers have done this week....I am sure they all have incredible creations for you to see!  Thanks again and I'll be seeing you soon!
