Here is the technique I used for the background. It was on Jennifer McGuire's site. https://www.jennifermcguireink.com/2...g-folders.html
After I used versamark on the embossing folder, I put it through my Big Shot. I then sprinkled it with gold embossing powder, then heat set it.
I added the designer series paper and the gems.
The butterfly was heat embossed using my VersaMarker to trace parts of the butterfly, adding embossing powder and heat setting it. The butterfly was added with dimensionals.

Copper has got to be one of the best metals ever!!!! I never tire of it. So warm, so interesting how it goes to its patina. This is beautiful, so rich!!

Beautifully done! I haven’t tried that technique and you’ve given me the inspiration to do so. Love your color choices and that background is texture heaven!

This EF really works well for the embossing technique. I've done it once. Now I'll be doing this folder for sure. Your butterfly is gorgeous as well and the DP you used.
