I wanted an elegant card for a friend's birthday so I didn't use the bold colors in the image I selected. Instead, I embossed the SU Medallion bg stamp in silver on black, put that over Gmund Treasury Shimmer (gold) tucked into Wrought Iron Punch corners. The butterfly is embossed in black on Treasury Shimmer. I put rhinestones in the corner and am calling it a card. As per usual, the camera does not capture the incredible shimmer of the paper.
Hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Oooh, talk about gorgeous! Oh my, this is certainly all that and then some, girl. Beautiful currency papers and embossing, DMM. So sophisticated and gorgeous. Your friend will so enjoy what she finds when she opens the envelope!
