The BG paper is called "Paua" paper and was sent to me by a friend I made on TJ from New Zealand. It is so pretty. Painted the butterfly with H2O's and highlighted the edges and spots of butterfly with White pen, Crystal Effects and Dazzling Diamonds. I used Stazon Black for words and applied the White gel pen and Crystal Effects and Dazzling Diamonds again around the words. Mounted BG, Butterfly, and words on Lavender Lace. I mounted Butterfly and Words on BG. Mounted ribbon and tied off on Paua Shell button. Mounted black brads.

Whoa that paper is stunning -- can't decide whether it makes me think of the inside of an Abalone shell -- or -- Jimi Hendrix. Either way I love it! Especially with your sparkly butterfly and greeting.

This reminded me of abalone as well. I recently bought a guitar pick that also had that look. This is gorgeous.
