I love butterflies...they signal an new, wonderful beginning, so I used butterflies as a the theme for a variety of retirement cards that I made recently. The recipients liked them....I hope you do too.
I stamped this stamp twice....once on vellum and gold embossed it. I stamped it again on paper, gold embossed it and water colored them. Cut out the paper version and overlayed the butterflies, using pop dots, over the vellum version to give dimension to the presentation. This looks better IRL and was a favorite.
Thanks for looking!
Happy New Year!

Positively amazing! I love what you've created. Without hesitation, I would put this immediately into my faves except that I know I could never come close to what you've created here! Fabulous work.
