Hail to Queen MariLynn, our new Queen this week, and if you haven't checked out her gallery, you're in for a wonderful surprise. Lots and lots of butterflies among many other lovely cards.
After a lot of fluttering around, I finally landed on Bandana Butterflies. I used black cardstock, ran it through my Perfect Perennials folder, went over the embossed parts with a 2-way glue pen and sprinkled on dazzling diamonds. Punched 3 butterflies out of blue vellum and glued them down. Covered up the boo-boo glue marks with rhinestones. Added some black ribbon, but I'm not sure if I like it... what do you think?
Congratulations MariLynn! Enjoy your reign!

Very pretty MariLynn tribute!! What better pattern to emboss for those wispy wanderers than swirls and flowers all dazzling in their glitter. Nice mimicry of that pattern on the butterfly wings as well. You just thought of everything!

Very pretty blue butterflies there Hilda. What a fun background and sparkly embossing pattern. Excellent case of Marilynn's card. Love the ribbon too. TFS
