I tweaked her sketch just a little by using a panel of wide ribbon at the bottom topped with copper wired Italian buttons. The bottom panel is embossed with En Francais, the panel over that is embossed with Bold Damasks. The butterfly was embossed in gold on copper, cut out, then partially colored with Pearl Ex.
Hope you like it and thanks for looking!

Wow, M this is spectacular! You are not only the queen of texture, but I am thinking the queen of embossing. Into my faves!

Anne, yes, you are correct. I saw Heather's fabulous card, selected the ribbon and used the ribbon for the color scheme. You are just so stinkin' SMART!
