Our inspiration this week was Franz Porcelain. What better technique to do than porcelain paper. I made a porcelain paper butterfly and two porcelain paper flowers. I cut the leaves and greenery by hand. I quilled some coils and added little pearls. I scored the base of my card. I brayered over the score lines and added 4 pearls in the corners.

Wow, MariLynn, you've really outdone yourself this time. I was expecting to see your porcelain butterflies, but you've recreated the whole flower as well - fantastic. Your birthday butterfly looks simply exquisite here.
