Sometimes I just like to experiment with different colouring mediums and see what turns out. This is one of those experiments. The end result is a little more shiny than the photograph shows, only the leaves appearing matt.
This image is one of the Pilkington butterflies from Stamps Away. I coloured the leaves using a gold Letraset metallic marker and the flowers using a black Promarker pen and a gold gel pen. This was matted and layered onto gold mirri card and white card. I then edged the design with black peel off edged with gold.
I stamped the butterfly a second time, going over the markings using the Promarker pen. I then covered the white area with a Quickie glue pen and applied gold gilding flakes. After cutting it out I decoupaged it to the design, attaching it with glue gel. Finally I added the greeting.
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
Allsorts - white and gold plus one (black)
Crafty Sentiments Designs - CAS or full on
Imagination Crafts - all that glitters
Love To Create - anything goes
Simon Says Stamp Monday - anything goes

This is one of those cards I wish I could see in real life. It's beautiful here but I'll bet it's spectacular with the light playing off the gold. Very striking design...wonderful use of white space to showcase the beautiful image. Thanks for joining our Bling challenge at The East Wind. I hope we see you again soon.
