Bright butterflies

I have been playing around with all sorts of messy things today trying to come up with a design for a couple of challenges.
CAS Watercolour - Colourful Butterflies
And the sketch from CAS(E) this Sketch
I saw a video on YouTube where a piece of card was daubed with Distress inks, spritzed with water and then embossing paste added through a stencil. I did this and added a dusting of Gold Glamour Dust over it, but the butterfly I had used was huge and the whole thing looked gaudy. I decided to use what I had made in a rather different way than planned and cut out a couple of small butterflies from this huge butterfly using Sizzix dies, adding gold bodies and feelers. I think they look quite cute  and fitted well with the CAse this Sketch sketch! The sentiment is from Clearly Besotted.
I was running out of embossing paste and so decided to try my hand at making some. It worked reasonably well but was a matt finish so I shall have to work out what to do to add a little shine or lustre.
