All Sorts week #194 Things with wings

I recently saw this doily on so many cards that I just had to buy it . Over the weekend I was playing in my craft room and made this card . Just love how the pink and grey go so well together . I stamped the doily with Versamark and then embossed with detail white embossing powder . I then stamped SU French script in Versafine Smokey Grey over the card front , the doily resisted the ink . I made my butterfly with a Marianne exotic butterfly die cutting it out 3 times and layering them . Added some Rock Candy Distress Stickles followed by Diamond Dust around the edges of the butterfly to give it some sparkle and added pearls to the body of the butterfly  . The grey scalloped panel was cut from a Cricut Cartridge called Elegant Edges .Sentiment was stamped in Smokey Grey on white C/S and attached to the lower left corner with popups.

Oh gosh this brings back memories... This pineapple pattern was one of my grandma's favorites when she was making doilies. You have done such a beautiful job with this card... The butterfly and doily look fabulous together. Thanks so much for Playing in Paradise this week!

Michelle I didn't see a place on your blog to email you but the doily stamp is by Stamping Up--called Hello Doily. There's also one in the CTMH caddy similar to this one .Thanks for the nice comment
