This is for you, Irene. What a pretty gallery you have!! I love this card and couldn't wait to give it a whirl.
The top part of the background is emboss resist, using Rubber Stampede's Daisy Stem and the bottom is a CB eb, as is the belt across the middle. The flower frame is a stamp by PSX. My SIL gave me this butterfly ages ago. It's one of my favourite stamps....I use it all the time, but have no idea who makes it. The ink and paper is PTI Ocean Tides. TFL....and congrats, Irene.

Very pretty Jo, what a fabulous PSX stamp, it's perfect for the framing. love the gold embossing and the emboss resist bg, nicely done. I looked for that butterfly and found one like it on ebay, it says it's Hero arts, but I couldn't find any other one like it. Thanks so much for joining in the fun today, beautifully done my dear, Hugs, Irene

Ms Jo, this is just so amazingly cased. This was the 2nd card I bookmarked, but didnt have time to create. Glad you did instead. Beautiful regal image and wonderful colors.

What a beautiful butterfly and frame. Also, love the top part of your card with the emboss resist. I'm sure Irene was honored with this beauty.

Wow, this looks like a wall in a an upscale art gallery - what a terrific case of Irene's card (which reminds me of a wall at my Grandmom's house- such a home-y look)
Really love how the embossing resist looks, coupled with the polka dots on the bottom, and the "chair rail" - the green embossed strip accross the middle. The butterfly in gold is a dynamic focal point - just LOVE how this looks with all the different textures!! TFS
