Cindy is having an elegant teaparty today - An Elegant Affair. That little pot reminds me of an enamelled butterfly brooch I have that belonged to a great grand-aunt.
My goodness, this would have been much quicker if I hadn't been 100% sure that my box of peel-off stickers was NOT where it should have been. After a lot of looking (and this was after I'd abandoned a Fantasy Fibre butterfly), it was EXACTLY where it should have been. Sigh...
I wanted to get the sort of enamelled looking effect, but I don't really think I did.
This is a small card, a 6 1/2" square of blue Bazzill Bling scored and folded in half.
The stamped image is Daisy Pattern from Penny Black, stamped and embossed in gold on white card. I sponged it with some gold glimmer chalk, and then coloured the flowers and leaves with Sakura Glaze and Stardust pens. I edged it with gold, added gems in the centres of all the flowers and layered it up on pink and green Bazzill Bling.
The butterfly is a peel-off on acetate, coloured with Sakura Glaze and Stardust pens.
I added some gold dots down each side of the panel. I'd have preferred to do some gold embroidery, but a bit short on energy today.

Sabrina, I hope you continue to get feeling better. This card is so elegant. I love the butterfly sticker that you used. The blue and pink flowers are beautiful. I love the bling on them. The gold dots along the side really add to the elegance of your card.

Beautiful Sabrina! The enamel look is right where it should be. (Don't mean to make fun of the time you spent looking for it...ooops) I love your small card, it's a sweet one indeed. Gorgeous gems, I love DA BLING! and the little row of gold dots. PERFECTO! This fits in just right with all the celebs here. But watch that Clint guy, he might be sending some of his buggers right on your sweet card. LOL

When I read your post on my blog I half way expected that you would not come! But I am so glad you did! I am sad you have been sick since Saturday! I wondered about you last week. I wonder if its something you picked up in Paris???? Maybe just run down a little!
I know what you mean about not finding what you are after! Drives ya crazy! But your card rocks! Your butterfly is beautiful, liked stained glass and your little bits of gold are just sheer elegance! I love the texture of that card stock too! Its awesome!
Thanks for coming when you aren't 100%. I hope you 100% soon! Thanks for the link too!
