This was a quick card to create. I stamped the image using a stamp positioner and repeated twice to get the good coverage I wanted with the solid background.
I cut the image panel with Nestabilities and embossed it then used the Perfect Layers tools from Perfect Paper Crafting to cut the even borders using the 1/16 and ½” tools. Use any brand craft knife or rotary cutter for cutting. A tutorial video can be found on the company site.
The embossing was done before I cut the panel using the Swiss Dots from Cuttllebug.
The pearls are self-sticking.
The Martha Stewart punched butterflies were embossed using a metal ball stylus and a folded paper towel for cushion. First score lines on the front then turn them over and make circular motions with the stylus staying away from the edges and score lines. Stickles were added to the body portion.
For the envelope and insert I used a second Hero Arts image and nothing but stamp it.

Roxie, this card is absolutely gorgeous! I love the white and pink colour scheme with the touch of black. Love that image and the gorgeous butterflies!
