Unfortunately this photo was taken with my old camera so the quality is poor. I embossed the butterfly on patterned yellow paper and then used yellow stickles on it to really make it sparkle. He was beautiful just like that but then I remembered that I had a crystal the exact shape of his body so I added that. Since the embossing looked so nice on the BF I decided to emboss my background paper as well. I used 2 Cornish Heritage Farms backgrounders called Pretty Pattern and French Script. They are stamped with clear pigment ink and then embossed with clear embossing powder which looks shiny black on the black paper. They turned out great. I layered some silk and organdy flowers and secured them with a metal flower brad. I used some Spellbinder's Nestabilities to layer the Happy Birthday phrase and the "golden years" phrase are from a new $1 Inkadinkado set. The Happy Birthday also has an acrylic circle dot layered over it for even more dimension. The "70" is cut from the Sizzix alphabet set "Girls Are Wierd".
