An all occasion card featuring a pieced background, an embossed butterfly and ribbon

I have been a little carried away with making all occasion cards.  I am really enjoying playing with all my "stuff"!!

For this card I started with a kraft card and added a paper pieced background which I created using scraps from my stash.  I simply taped them together on the back and trimmed it to size for my card.  I added piece of black ribbon before mounting it to my card front.  I added the butterfly image (Magenta) which is embossed with black embossing powder and then embellished with clear glitter on its wings then die cut round (Nestibilities).  The outer edge was embellished with a black marker and dots were added inside of that line.  The butterfly was mounted over the ribbon using 3D foam tape.  It still needed "something" so I added a folded piece of the same ribbon over the one on the card securing it with double sided tape and then added a glilttery rhinestone embellishment.  That was better!!!
