I have made a number of these shades as commissions and they have all been great fun, very girly and completely unique.
The paper used is a DCWV stack "Black and White Stack". I have also used velum to layer the buttereflies. I used my Sizzix Eclips machine and a Tonic butterfly punch to make all the templates. I then added lots of bling and sparkle with the beads and lace. This lace is very old and was found in a cupboard at my mum's church, so ancient indeed. It did need to be aired as it was very odourous haha
