Welcome
I came across this die cut butterfly (by Marianne Dies) that I had cut out ages ago in plain white card, and used it as a starting point for this card.
I water coloured it, then slathered it in iridescent medium to give it some sheen.
I layered it onto black card, and at the base of the piece added the die cut sentiment (a S/B die). As the gold paper was so flimsy, I added a layer of die cut card under it.
I layered the completed panel over a piece of gold paper, which I had cut the center out of with a die to make the most of it,
After the black and gold layers were finished, they were layered onto a bright blue card, and the final details were these flower shaped sequins.

This is lovely, Maxine. The shimmery butterfly really pops against the black base!

Maxine, the depth of shine on the butterfly and the color shading makes it seem to be flying. Thank you so much for entering your creative and beautiful art in our AG FF challenge.

It is very striking against the black background. A pretty butterfly shape and enhanced by the pearlescent treatment you added. Love the gold sentiment. Recently I couldn't find a small snippet of gold for a sentiment, so just used white c/s. Rubbed versamark on it, then Ranger Queen's Gold EP, and it worked great...not hard to die cut and sturdy enough I didn't have to back gold paper with more cardstock. Looked nice too, will be sharing later. TFS & Have a wonderful week.
I love the iridescent sheen on your butterfly and black is the perfect foil for it. A very pretty card. Kate x
