I made this for Mothermark's Teapot Tuesday challenge seen here http://mothermark.blogspot.com/ Thanks, Lisa for letting me know about it!
The card is cut with the Sizzix scallop circle die. I stamped the Floral background, and accented areas with my aquapainter and reinkers. The butterfly is stamped in Encore metallic copper and embossed with clear EP. Then I watercolored it with reinkers. It is adhered using a thin strip of foam tape just under the body. The edges of the card are inked in copper, and I applied stickles to each scallop. The ribbon is curled using my heat tool.
Thanks for looking!

Oh K, there you are. I was just going to ask Cindy if she has seen you. I was worried you got lost. I'm so glad you made it. There is so much to see. Watch out for a really strong butterfly (April Fools hee hee hee) What? Oh its an inside joke. Ask Marilynn about her pudding. Oh and watch out for flying cupcakes. By the way, your circle scallop card is just exquisite. I cannot believe you stamped the BG. I thought that was DP. Gorgeous. How creative you are. That butterfly is just perfect. I also love that ribbon. Come, you've got to meet Cindy....

The circle shape fits the elegant theme so well. The butterfly looks like it just landed (glad there was no pudding around) and I am sure it is because she thought the flowers were real!

Ooh! Ooh! A new Person! Hey guys! Be good for a minute will ya? Oh, you're a friend of Lisa's? Oh, so Lisa probably told you about the tea parties! Okay, guys, never mind! She's Lisa's friend and knows all about us! Giggle!
So glad you could come! Any friend of Lisa's is a friend of ours! Your card is amazing! I love round cards and when they are scalloped its a big plus! I love the little touch of bling in the scallops and the butterfly is the perfect main focus! I love how *the teapot* it is! AND, its complete with the roses! Gorgeous!
Don't worry, you don't have to dress up this fancy every teaparty! This was a special gala event even though you might never know it cause we are not used to dressing up and we have had some tripping issues, some spilled pudding issues and a lawsuit pending due to a papparazzi's camera getting damaged! Other than that! Its all good!
Thanks for coming, thanks for the link and its nice to meet you! Keep an eye on Lisa while you are at it! Giggle!

I like your scalloped circle card base with that lovely soft paper, and the perfect match of the curled ribbon with the copper butterfly. I don't know if you have them over there - here there is actually a butterfly called Copper Blue.

I love your card. The stamped background is so beautiful. I love the curly ribbon and the bling all around the edges. I am so glad you joined us at the teaparty and brought along this elegant card. Things aren't always this crazy at the teaparties, sometimes they are worse!
