This is for Donna's Blingtastic HYCCT challenge.
I've tried two cameras, flash, no flash, and I just can't get a good photo. I knew that before I even started, sigh....
This is partially inspired by an amazing gem-encrusted card Kathleen Lammie made a while back. I thought I could add some gems to a butterfly cut from self-adhesive sheets and fill in the gaps with glitter, and it worked well. I did stick the adhesive sheet to a bit of thin card first. Pendant and square are both embossed with black EP for shine. The base is a pearlescent gold, and since I don't have any large enough embossing folders to add a bit of texture, I stamped it with an IO backgrounder and embossed with a frosted EP.
Paper: pearlescent card, metallic shimmer paper, black card
Paper Size: 5 1/2" square
Ink: Versamark
Accessories: bling, glitter, self-adhesive sheets, Memory Box butterfly, Spellbinders Lotus Pendant and Fleur de Lis Square, black and Frosted Crystals ep,
