With Affection

 I was in the mood to make a "mixed media" type card this morning.  I started with a teal piece of cardstock, prayed my glass work table with some Dylusions Ink Spray and water then rubbed the paper around in it.  After using my heat gun to dry it off, I then used a butterfly stencil I made using my Cricut and some gold ink.  I laid some lace across the bottom, added some tulle, mulberry roses from I am Roses, leaves I die cut and some gold leaves I had in a drawer.  I used some 3 step stamped leaves and sentiment from Altenew.  I added a piece of a vintage gold earring that was broken.  The butterfly and the butterfly frame were cut using dies.  I also added some pearls throughout the card front.  This was pretty fun to make!
