Sometime last year, I received a swap card where the sender had ripped off a bit of printed paper and scrawled the name of the swap and her name on the back, then slipped it in the card so I knew what it was for. When I looked at the paper she used, I thought it was gorgeous, so I've kept it, looking for a use for it. Today's the day to recycle it!
The paper is the butterfly patterned piece you see above, and that piece is pretty much the total bit she used (if you pulled the card apart, you'd see her scrawled message on the back of that paper.) Unfortunately, the awesome gold shine isn't really visible in the photo because it photographed looking almost white in some spots.
To show off the paper, I die-cut an aperture in a piece of kraft colored paper and embossed it, using it as a frame for the pretty butterflies, then attached it to a white card. For the sentiment, I die-cut a small circle from blue shimmer paper, added a sparkly gold-embossed sentiment and a sparkly blue butterfly.
This card is for these challenges:
Simon Says Stamp Monday -- recycle (butterfly print paper)
Double D -- sparkle and shine
Can You Handle the Pressure -- use an embossing folder
Word Art Wednesday #631 -- anything goes
Pammie's Inky Pinkies #2403 -- anything goes

Very pretty! The embossed panel makes a lovely frame for those beautiful butterflies. I see a bit of gold shining! Thanks for sharing at the Double D, Sparkle and/or Shine Challenge.
