Peacock Butterflies.

There's a sketch challenge at Flourishes! When I saw it, I thought about doing a little pocket and put two different cards in it! (Just saw that somebody else had also the same idea!) I chose the Butterfly Blossoms stamp set of Flourishes. I used the Romantic Rectangles dies of Spellbinders to make the little cards and one background. I cut the flowers and put them on dimensional pads to give them a 3D effect. The butterflies were also cut by hand. I made the background of the butterflies with the beautiful stamp of Flourishes called Damask Background and I just saw that it is a retiring stamp, so be quick if you want it! I embossed it with clear powder. I added some jute twine and a white velvet ribbon, a blue button, a little tag made with Tiny Flowers and Tags of Flourishes, some pearls, stitching and here it is:
