All a Flutter - a Stamping 411 challenge sketch

These Monarch butterflies look so real they look like they're about to take off. The stamp set - "All a Flutter" from the new Occasions mini.
 These adorable "insects" were embossed with black embossing powder on vellum, coloured with SU markers, cut out and mounted on crushed curry cardstock embossed with the finial embossing folder and the Big Shot.
Markers:  More mustard, Real Rust, Chocolate chip, Elegant Eggplant.
Other paper:  basic black, Sweet Pea designer series paper
Ribbon:  black satin
I didn't have any ribbon to match the crushed curry paper, so I crimped a piece of cardstock instead.
This is an adorable stamp
