I used the second horizontal row across (Glitter, Pearls, Distress, Blue, and Flower) but you can go horizontal, vertical or cross ways for your creation. I used an old CTMH butterfly image, glittered it up added some dimensionals, and then added the pearls. This was mounted on a nestie that I've actually never used before but have had for about 6 months now! I used a gold pen to outline the white one (thanks to Donna and Carol for this tip). I also used the Tulip embossing folder from SU that I think I've only used once before.....and last, but not least.......the flower! Yikes! I've had some pieces of vellum that were given to me SO LONG AGO and have never, ever used any of it. I punched out the flower and then distressed a little around the edges and then added the "greenery" and a big pearl! I also did a little distressing around the edge of the card stock and the nestie.

Absolutely stunning. Love the embossing around the edges and such a soft color of blue. Great tip about the gold ink too.
Oh how your post made me smile today, Lynn :) I am with you on the vellum, haven't used it in ages but what justice you do to all things you add to your cards! This is such an elegant card, the blue is soft enough to match perfection yet give it that little extra pop. LOVE the buttefly! Beautifully done! x0x0
I love this beautiful design and that gorgeous sponged vellum blossom!! Awesome work, Lynn!
The embossed frame really sets that pretty butterfly off and the vellum flower is gorgeous!
How lovely Lynn! I enjoy the softness of this card.
Love the blue and white color combo, Lynn, and what a gorgeous butterfly!!! The pearls and embossing are such elegant details!!!!
Beatiful!!! Love the image with the glitter and then the flower very creative. I will have to try and remember that one. This is such a great color combo as well, clean and fresh. Have a great day.
This is such a pretty card in those soft blues! That touch of gold really sets the image off perfectly without being overdone! {thx for the shoutout} I love the vellum flower, and I've got to tell you - if I had that embossing folder, I'd have worn it out by now! It frames this butterfly beautifully! You need to use that more often! NJ!
This is beautiful! I love this shade of blue and your fabulous use of white space.
