Welcome
I have spent the afternoon crafting, and this is one of the results - I can blog it now, as my grand daughter is too young to be reading my blog...

The butterfly was one I stamped while house sitting, and it was unmarked .. I had been playing with Wilted Violet DOX and stamped and embossed over it. I was initially not happy with the result, until I trimmed it out, adding a body as I did.

I layered some cheerful paper from an Amy Tangerine pad called Sketchbook onto my base, which I had edged with Wilted Violet DOX also.
I made a frame for the sequins (Razzle Dazzle mix from Picket Fence), but before I added it to the base, I put down a layer of vellum to mute the paper behind the sequins, embossing the sentiment onto it.

The inside was finished with the strip of sparkly washi tape across the bottom

The butterfly stamp is gorgeous! It's a real eyecatcher in the frame.

love how ;you matched the edging to the butterfly, which incidentally I think is a beautiful shape. I love your butterfly, it is very elegant and goes so well with the backing paper you chose.
