Combined challenge, vintage butterfly

Here's a card I combined multiple challenges on, which of first three are new to me:

Kreativ Scrapping #8 calls for bingo, where I choose søm-blomster-embossing (sewing-flowers-embossing)
Vintage udfordring 64 calls for card/tag with butterflies
Card and Scrap #59 calls for everything goes
and finally, everything is based on my all time favorite challenge
Mojo Monday sketch 305





Layered papers are mostly from Tim Holtz French Industrial 12x12 stack, with the stamped image on Ranger manila cardstock. The flourish-patterned paper is from a dollar-store and it had some glittery embossing on it at the edges (you can see this on the die-cut butterfly). I machine sewed the back panels in place with some heavy quilting cotton thread.

The butterfly image is from Unity Stamps Layers of Life june 2013 -kit, stamped with sepia Archival and embossed with clear embossing powder. I used multiple Distress Inks in brown shades to color the manila cardstock after embossing and sprinkled it with water. The flourishes are stamped with coffee Archival and the edges are distressed with Frayed Burlap.

The diecut butterfly is Simon Says Stamp's Chrissy and the little roses are made from white watercolorpaper by punching out flowers with my old small EK retro flower punch and then gluing them together. The tutorial can be found on YouTube:



Mind you, just buying them from the store saves you a lot of time, but I didn't have any small roses at hand... I sprayed them with Lindy's spray and with some Tattered Angels, added some Antique Linen DI and topped everything with Cinnamon Stickles. A little less sparkle would've been great but oh well...
