Thanks a bunch

I don't usually do pink, hate the colour, but I was asked to make a thank you card in pink ... oh and with a butterfly! Susan I can only apologise for what I am subjecting your eyes to!!!
Anyway, I cut the clock out of that dreaded colour and scored lines across the card blank and added ribbon and the stamped sentiment.  I cut a circle and put the chicken wire mask over it, before inking over it all in worn lipstick distress ink.  Before i removed the mask I spritzed the circle with popiscle glimmer mist.  I cut the butterfly dies  and spritzed the base one with the glimmer mist, and then inked the edges with worn lipstick when it was dry.  The upper butterfly was liberally glue penned and then glamour dusted.  I matted the circle onto the clock, added the butterfly and some pearls.

Supplies: 
Image: Memery box butterfly dies
 Sentiment: Whimsey ticket stamps
Colouring medium: distress inks and glimmer mists
Papers: cardstock
 Embellishments: ribbon and pearls from stash
 Tools: Tim Holtz weathered clock die
