Today I went through some drawers in my scrap room and found years-old items that had been neglected to the point of being totally forgotten. Absolutely EVERYTHING on this card, except for the three pearls embellishing the butterfly, are as old as the hills.
The butterfly was a long-forgotten sticker that had actually lost most of its tackiness. I glittered the backside of the wings so that whatever stickiness was left would not adhere to the background. An old doily sprayed gold was used, string pearls, a border strip, gold glitter, a butterfly sticker, flat-backed gold pearls and wire-rimmed gold ribbon. The scalloped background was also old, old, old. Even the sentiment was a sticker from a purchased package from long ago.
Wow, this is gorgeous, Ginny! What an amazing contrast of colors. The gold bow is fab! Thanks for joining the Craft-Dee BowZ June Challenge, "Anything goes and include a handmade bow".
So pretty and I love using up old "stuff" :) Congrats for making Top 3 on my Amusing Challenge this past week!
Hi Ginny - this is a pretty card and I love all the sparkles on it. Well done for making it from old stash too! Thanks for playing along at Incy Wincy Designs.

This is SOOO pretty! I love how you added all the glittery accents. It's amazing what we can create when we go through our stashes. Thanks for joining us this month at SparkleNSprinkle Creative Challenge!
