I'm almost off to give this card to my friend and carpooling buddy...who had the good fortune to celebrate on December 26th! I chose the neat Hero Arts collage birthday stamp to begin with. It is stamped in Archival ink on Soft Sky. I cut the right side of the butterfly to give it some depth. I dug into my stack from Costco of Bohemia/Wild Asparagus papers for the various layers and ended in the Bling Black. I hand cut the scrolly(is that a word) from the layer closest to the black and then turned it backward for the white and embossed in Candy Turquoise and then UTEE it twice. I rubbed the cracks with Chalk Box burnt sienna.I used some metal from my embellie box to finish it off. I've enclosed a GC for a pedicure with an * "must not be used without me"!!! Thanks for looking and your comments...

This is a beautiful card with a sort of vintage look. I love the way you *framed* the image with the scrollies (that's a word right?)! Fabulous! TFS, and a Happy (and creative) New Year!
