Flutter By Wednesday #124 - Sparkle and Shimmer

Welcome to Flutter By Wednesday! This week's challenge is to use sparkle and shimmer with our butterfly, fairy or angel!  When you finish your new creation go to the FBW blog and directly link your card up to InLinkz.  While you are there don't forget to check out what the other Flutterbies created!  I wish you could see the shimmer I have on these butterflies!  I did a color wash with purple and pink Twinkling H2O's on water color paper! I even took the picture outside in the sunlight to try to capture the shimmer!  The sparkles that I included are the rhinestones in pink and purple.  I used my PaperTrey Butterfly die to cut out the butterflies once the paper was dry.  I framed them with the Cuttlebug Scrollwork embossing folder and then mounted that onto the card front.
Thanks for coming by!
Supplies: Paper - PaperTrey, Watercolor Paper; Misc - Twinkling H20's, Kaisercraft Rhinestones, Cuttlebug Embossing folder, Foam Squares
