I'm once again joining Art Journal Journey and our host Mia who has chosen Butterflies as her theme this month.
This will be my final Butterfly entry at Art Journal Journey this month. For lack of a better title, I called this Butterflies on Parade. 
I love how these butterflies can't be caged.
Glitz and glitter, along with foreign text, add to the beauty of this entry.
The little bird adds a bit of mystery.
Sewing adds the final touch.
I started this page with a sheet of my Staz-on and isopropyl alcohol background on 110 lb cardstock. To that, I sewed the focal image to the background using variegated thread and added the butterfly gifted me by Sharon Madson.Thanks beyond belief for dropping by today. Bleubeard and I are really grateful for your visit and also hope to see you at Art Journal Journey where you still have a few more days to share your Butterfly journal pages.

Beautiful and yes, they cannot get caged like this, luckily.
Love the bird, too.
Beautiful page, Elizabeth, butterflies need to be free, people, too! Love the added sewing. Have a great week, take care, hugs, Valerie
Simply, eloquently gorgeous.
I love the glitter and glitz. It adds so much detail. This page is quite romantic. The big butterfly (monarch?) in the middle is a beauty. I like the paper too with the bird cage. Nice last page for AJJ. It's hard to believe we are almost at the end of June already. Hugs-Erika
A beautiful journal page, Elizabeth. I love the subtle background design with the glitzy overlay edges and the butterflies all flittering around. Such a pretty main butterfly. The bird refuses to blend into the background so he’s got his glitz suit on. Love the stitched framing also. Time is flying by!
I love the composition of this piece. Pretty, and butterflies was such a great subject for this time of year, wasn't it!
I love your beautiful page with the mystery sparkly bird to all the butterflies that are roaming free. What a lovely page.
I love your page.
Did you ever see the images made of collages of butterfly wings made by the French painter Jean Dubuffet (1901-1883)? I guess at that time -- he made the collages in the 1950s -- butterflies weren't endangered, so it was ok to collect them. Now it would seem to be irresponsible to collect all those innocent and pretty creatures. So your way is the good way.

The most beautiful page! Butterlies fly free on the romantic background. I simply love it, Elizabeth. Thank you, my friend, for joining again my challenge at AJJ.
Love the butterflies and all the glitter :)
The butterfly borders look gorgeous, the central image looks beautiful and stands out from its framing at the sides of the page.
Stay safe.

This is so pretty Elizabeth, lovely shimmer to catch the beauty of the Butterfly. I'm glad to see they would never be caged. The large Butterfly is like the Mother leading the way. Beautiful.
