Fly-butter...

Every once in awhile I see an image that really grabs my attention... this was a freebie from A Day for Daisies.  When I was little, I transposed names all the time - like Fly-butter and ball-muds.  so to me this is a Fly-butter!  And I've made a "Just Because" card... just because!

TECHNIQUE
My fly-butter needed a branch to sit on so I drew one with a Micron pen and added Zentangle leaves (Poke-root) to the end - also the feelers on the dragonfly.  Both images were colored with Copics.  I inked the edges of all three layers, wrapped a lacy ribbon around the 2nd panel and taped everything down.  For the finishing details I added a half black pearl to his eye, three larger black pearls to the corner, glitter and eyes to the dragonfly.

 This card should be eligible for the following
