Butterfly Easel Card?

Hi all, what a busy week, had to work full time this week, must be getting old because I just seemed so tired, certainly makes a difference to crafting, anyway, shopped, caught up on washing (just got distracted from the ironing lol) done a little cleaning and had a play in between helping Rosanna, then did more cleaning lol as Rosanna made tea tonight shepherds/cottage pie and rhubarb crumble (rhubarb from our garden) you really don't want to know what the kitchen looked like!! The food was very good though! Also apologies to my blogging friends if I have missed leaving you a comment.

Back to crafting, been having a play/experiment with my copics and coloured one of my fav Inky Girls 'Fairy Lili', now I am calling this a Butterfly Easel Card, but I stand to be corrected if it should be called something else as I had this idea in my head. Template is from 'My time made easy' which I bought some time ago and changed how I used it. Postie delivered three beautiful Martha Stewart punchies to me this week so couldn't wait to use them the first being the Monarch Butterfly, which I punched onto different card cardstock used glimmermist and Dazzling diamonds on the left butterfly and orange kindyglitz on the orange butterfly and embellishments for the body. The second was the Butterfly Border punch, couldn't fit the border in this creation but used the little butterflies it punches out, some are sponged Rose Red others are cut from Rose Red Card Stock.Isn't she just gorgeous used Dazzling Diamonds on her wings

This is a part side view used my SU border punch to make two supports.


Have used various brads from my stash and used Sequin Glitz around the outside edge of the butterfly, as you can imagine I am a very sparkly girl at the moment lol!
Edited to add a photo of easel card lying flat
The hello stamp was sent to me by my lovely crafting friend Angela. This is my Inky Impressions March Mingle Card, have posted as my mingle partner doesn't follow me but apologies if you do see before you receive.
