All Occasion Card featuring embossed & watercoloured butterfly, ribbon and a hand decorated background

A more monochromatic look for this all occasion card!!  The dragonfly (Magenta) was silver embossed on white tissue paper and embossed into the handmade paper during the couching process.  I love the texture!!  I watercoloured the dragonfly to coordinate with my hand decorated background (sanding and wax resist).   I found these two pieces in my stash - they must have been part of a circle at one time - and punched them with the slot punch (SU) and then adhered them to the back of my dragonfly.  I added two pieces of lilac organza ribbon into the slots and then glued this large element to my background.  I tucked the ends of the ribbons to the back and secured them with double sided tape.  I then adhered this large element to my gray card!!  Subtle and elegant!!
