A Touch of Gold! PTI blog hop and Let's Get Trendy Day3

This is the first time in ages of managed to enter a blog hop - I always seem to hear about them after the deadline. Amazingly, I made this card a few days ago and I didn't make it for any challenge but just for fun.  I found the off-cut of paper in my stash and it inspired me to make a card. So imagine my surprise when I saw that the Papertrey Ink have a challenge to make a card with a touch of gold.  Lucky I used a Papertrey Ink sentiment. You can join the fun here if you're quick. I am also entering this in the Lets Get Trendy Now!3 Day3 - homemade embellishments.





The butterfly was stamped with gold ink on shrink plastic and then I shrunk it with a heat gun - it always feel like magic when I use shrink plastic.
The rose is an earring from a discount shop, the diamante is very old from my Mum's stash, the bird is from Prima, not sure about the star, the centred of the butterfly is broken off a pin and the cameo is from a local craft shop. So I call this a serendipitous card.

    Love that background paper, it just calls out for embellies, and the sentiment looks so good framed.
