For Mothermark's tea party today we were to wear glitz and walk the red carpet. Check it out here and join us. Gallery at Splitcoaststampers
I used brushed copper and a cuttlebug folder for the bkgrd. The butterfly is from the old but favorite Flutterby set. After it was embossed using SU classy copper I mixed green, silver, gold and pink stickles. They are so shiny irl. The rhinestone feelers are from a decorative string someone gave me years ago.
I hope everyone will wear their white gloves to the party because some of the cards look very fragile. Also, white gloves will impress any special guests which Cindy has promised are invited.

This is most definately a white glove, glitzy, elegant sorta card! The butterfly is beautiful against the sparkley background. And the rhinestones are most definately the perfect embellishment! I just got wind of a little issue so you might wanna put your card up for a few minutes.
It seems one of the papparazzi was filming someone licking pudding off one of those fragile cards and all you know what broke loose cuz an expensive camera lense got creamed with a cream puff eclair and now there is a lawsuit being threatened! Yikes! We should try to sneak out the back door!

This is gorgeous. Way too pretty for this wild bunch. Love that bling on your butterfly. Hope it is insured so in case it gets nabbed at the party you can get reimbursed. Super job. TFS

White gloves - gosh, we used to have some of my grandmother's kid ones for dressing up - those ones where you could unbutton them at the wrist and pull the finger part back...I really like your butterfly and embossed copper, but especially those wonderful jewelled antennae.
