OWH Mid Week Throw Down - Things with Wings

Operation Write Home's Mid Week Throw Down challenge is create a card including Things with Wings

Here is my offering:


Cheery Lynn butterfly die,  Fiskars clear stamp and swirl texture plate, India Brights Papers, Recollections kraft paper base (lined of course!), gold leafing pen on the body and tentacles, scrap trim. 

I had a major score at JoAnn's today.  I have been drooling over some 5x7 paper pads of handmade papers from India.  They feel like fabric, and have beautiful foiled patterns in unique colors.  Problem?  The papers are not 5x7, more like 3 3/4 x 5, not very card friendly.  But they were tough to pass up at 70% off, and minus my 15% teacher discount!!!  For $2.55, I can make them work.  I bought 2 different pads.  Yep, I need more paper like a hole in the head...
