Less is More Week #225 - use some metal

Our challenge this week at Less is More is to use some metal.  I used some fine beading wire to make antennae for my SU Swallowtail butterfly.  I cut a square aperture into some paper and then added a cutout for the wing.  Drew round the aperture with a Pigma pen and added a Hobby Art sentiment.  The butterfly is coloured with Inktense pencils.  The body has Glossy Accents added but it doesn't show up too well in my photo.
