Here's my card:
I thought I'd digress from my usual flowers and use butterflies for Stephanie! The stamps are Hero Arts and I stamped them on PTI Lemon Tart in gold for my background. I added a dot randomly with a DeNami stamp.
Do you see the DeNami polka dot background dots? I covered them with vellum for a softer look. The gold paper is from my stash and has stripes in it. I used the PTI Sending You die for a background for my embossed Cuttlebug butterfly. Then, OKAY, I HAD to do it, I added a lemon tart rose cut with a Sizzix die! Some gold bling and a bow tied with gold seam binding spice up this card.
