Pretty Little Butterfly

I made a card! And it was sooo much fun :D

I followed the fabulous sketch from Magnolia Down Under using 'Tilda with Hawaiian Flower' and a magnolia butterfly stamp coloured with distress inks.

The flowers and seam binding are both from Wild Orchid Crafts, the music paper is by 7gypsies, but i'm afraid i don't know the make of the pink one. The flower border is an x-cut cut and emboss die and then I just added a doily, some x-cut punched butterflies, a hand-cut tag, string, a charm and some pearls. All of the edges are inked with Walnut Stain distress ink and distressed with scissors. Distress ink colours:
Skin - Vintage Photo, Tattered Rose & Victorian Velvet
Hair - Walnut Stain
Dress, socks, butterflies, flowers - Victorian Velvet, Tattered Rose & Black Soot
Shoes - Vintage Photo & Black Soot

I'm entering this in:
Allsorts - things with wings
Totally Gorjuss - string or twine
Charisma - something that flies

Thanks for looking,
