Hi everyone, I finally managed to buy this butterfly die and used it straight away.
It's been on my wishlist for ages lol!
I diecut it from black card and rubbed on some art alchemy wax pastes.
I added some gilded foundry wax as highlights and heat set it to bring out the shine.
(I added the antennae from a Memory Box butterfly die!)
The tag was sprayed with oxides in dusty concord and salvaged patina with a spritz of spray stain in antique linen. To finish I blended in some vintage photo distress ink around the edge then spattered on some gold watercolour paint.
Here's a closer look at the shine:

The sentiment die was inked with versamark and embossed with Lindy's midnight gold ep.
I'm linking up to these challenges:
Allsorts, playing along with the anything goes option.

Art Alchemy antique brilliance wax in vintage silk, amethyst magic and mystic turquoise; Distress oxide sprays in dusty concord and salvaged patina; Distress spray stain antique linen; Finetec inca gold watercolour paint; Ranger foundry wax-gilded; versamark ink and Lindy's midnight gold embossing powder; sentiment sticker.
Thanks for visiting,

Look at you, Cathy, being all alchemy and creating this magnificent dimensional butterfly and sediment panel! The added embossing from the folder makes it even more spectacular! Thank you for inspiring everyone at NBUS! Hugs, Darnell
I love the colors on the tag and the butterfly is gorgeous. The waxes brought out the details on the butterfly and it is elegant. Beautiful card, Cathy.
Cathy, the butterfly and background are stunning!! Marvelous and elegant design as well. Thank you so much for sharing with Allsorts this week.
What a fabulous finish you got on this beautiful butterfly using the wax pastes Cathy, and the embossed sentiment, and the sprays look so pretty used on the background, and some great spattering too and looking amazing over the embossing folder you used for the background. A gorgeous card. x
