its amazing & decided to use an idea with thread wrapping

& the ice-cream stick thinking I'd get a butterfly - maybe it turned out more like a dragonfly, either way its rather cool.  I ran some tape along the ice-cream stick & started winding the thread in from both ends as only had limited thread left.  I started at the ends as it was easier to lay the loops on top of one another.  The last bits I twisted & glued down to show where it had been flying.  The wire I used for the antennas came from around an item I bought recently.  I threaded the beads on (from an old necklace), wrapped it around & then twisted it to make the antennas.  For the rest of the card I kept it pretty simple as the paper is so glittery, just layered it up to make it pop. 

I also created this one for a customer who wanted butterflies & teddies.  Had fun inking & sticking all the bit on.

Next I wanted to try my hand at a lace & bead butterfly.

This card just has to have great grandma added to it

& will be winging its was of to the same customer.
