What a fun challenge. I peeked at it this morning when I woke too early, and thought straight away of split negatives and of using some of my Snoopy stamps - B&W is perfect for cartoon drawings, after all. I'll look at Snoopy after lunch, but in the mean time I made this. I dismissed split negative because I've never yet found a white embossing powder that matches my white card :-(.
Stamped and embossed the butterflies and sentiment on black card with Versamark and white EP.
Cut them out, and added butterflies stamped in black on white paper and brushed over with a clear glitter pen. Added to a white 5" square, matted it on black and added it to my standard base. Finished it off with a few sequins on the sentiment square.

This is a beautiful birthday card, I really like your collection of butterflies. So pretty. That is funny, I was also contemplating trying a split negative card because I want to try one, but then I decided to try the crayon rubbed embossing technique.

I don't even try cards lik e this because I can never line the squares up as perfectly as you have. With that striking black and white, even 1/16 of an inch off would be noticeable. You get an A+ for neatness.
