The hardest part of my card was taking a picture of it, lol. With all the metallic/mirror finish card stock and glittery bling, my camera really wigged out on most of the pics. I don’t usually do a lot of glittery metallics, but New Year’s is a perfect time to bring on the bling! And it was a lot fun, as well. All of the glittery fronds, the ribbon and even the houndstooth mirror card stock came from the Christmas clearance isles at Michael’s. The silver card stock for the butterfly and sentiment is a recycled/repurposed foil lid from a container. I stamped them with Stazon and on the butterfly, added a touch of color with some Sharpies. It was cut with the matching butterfly die available only at ODBD.
On the sentiment, I used a Spellbinders circle die and my brand new Grand Calibur. What a wonderful machine! I added the fronds and a bow then arranged the layers on a lavender 5.5 x 4.25 card.
From here, hop on over to Angie’s Blog. I know she’ll have something wonderful for you! Thanks for stopping by and have a Blessed and Prosperous New Year!

Beautiful card. It’s amazing that that beautiful butterfly is made using a recycled foil container lid. You never know where you can find awesome card making supplies! Makes a person look differently at every little thing before putting it in the trash. I like the color and all the glitz.
