One of the mediums that I love working with is shrink plastic. Add butterflies into the equation and I'm away. I made a batch up the other day using up some off cuts of plastic. Instead of making into buttons I left them blank to use as decoration.
was coated over each one and left to dry to a lovely high sheen. The lace had been white but I scribbled a promarker onto paper, wet it a little bit and then dunked the lace over it until it covered.

Hi Mrs A!
Lovely card - what a clever girlie doing the lace with Pro Markers too. Love those butterflies of course :)
I locked the playground gates this morning, earlier than the lunchtime I'd planned - 7am and folk were still coming to play - 58 for the roll call this week!
I gather you didn't find 'Senore Pizzicotto'? I read that it's often old guys and as this was about 30 years ago my guess is that you didn't go trawling the local cemeteries anyhow?
Hope the Wimp is doing OK - and that you and the Doc. are brown, full of ice cream and having a fabby time.
Hugs, Di xx
That's so pretty :o) I love butterflies on anything and everything. A close second behind hearts for me!
Wonderful card...love what you did to the lace. I shall have to remember that.
How do you get them so perfect!? I never can get shrink plastic to work right for me - I always end up with something curled up. And Mrs A - I missed your paper basket full of flowers - its absolutely wonderful! Such crafty expertise - I love it!
I am with you on the shrink plastic. I love using it with alcohol inks and flutterbies are a gorgeous subject.

Captivating design,use of butterflies makes it more adorable...
Brilliant. They will be so useful. It is good to use up all the litle bits and butterflies will always be a hit where ever they end up:)
