It is rare for me to get to play during the week, so I was ecstatic to play in the Mojo Monday Challenge today. Love the sketch this week.
I needed a thank you card for a precious friend, so here's how I went about it. I started with the last scrap of some beautiful unknown dp which is gilded with gold. I married it with two of the new In Colors, bugged the three vertical panels then sponged the edges. Glued some claret tissue paper onto cardstock and embossed it in gold with Baroque Motifs. Atop this sets a popped up butterfly from PSX embossed in gold on blue stock, then cut out.
Hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Yeah, he may have gotten here first, but it's rather apparent that 'he' has yet to learn the technique of providing supportive/complimentary comments. Now, if I were him, I would have told you this is beyond my artistic comprehension. Gorgeous is definitely not the most appropriate word to describe the definition of textures and colors. wonderful everything on this one, girl!

What a wonderful layout. Your gold touches just speak! I love anything with swirls, and yours are classic. Beautiful card Miss M!
