A birthday card featuring butterfly die cuts, gold glitter washi tape and an embellished font greeting

Our new daughter in law is having a birthday!!  I made her this card!!  I started with a blue card and added the embossed floral paper leaving a gap for the gold glitter washi tape which I made up a while back.  I die cut the solid butterfly from decorative paper and then the detailed butterfly from black (TH).  I layered them, added three blue rhinestones and then some some clear glitter to highlight its body.  I adhered it onto my card front over the gold strip.  I searched my butterfly stash and found two more black butterflies - a medium small punchie one (MS) and a very tiny punchie one.  I added one blue rhinestone to the medium one and just a dot of clear glitter to the tiny one.  I embellished my greeting with faux stitching using my pattern tracing wheel and pierced  scallops which I cut with decorative scissors.  I used 3D foam tape to mount it to my card.   I mounted my two other butterflies to the greeting to create a pleasing effect.    Therese
