I used cream cs (Gina K) and my SB's Letterpress system with the plate and Delicata Golden Glitz ink and then fussy cut around the image. Next I used another piece of cream cs and SB's Molded Frame embossing folder and glued the fussy cut piece into the center of the embossed frame. I attached both to a cream colored card base.
I added a couple butterflies using SSS's Whirl Butterflies dies and cream and gold cs and a gold foiled sentiment from SB's Everyday Sentiments II set. I finished with a few clear gems with gold dust from PFS.

Marcia, it could NOT be more beautiful and glamourous! I may have to get those elegant little flutterbys - so pretty with their gold bodies!

This is such an elegant color combo and you've used it so cleverly with your different elements! A friend asked for some sympathy cards and I'm thinking how nice this would be. Love the texture of the butterflies and, of course, the Molded Frame is a favorite. So pretty, Marcia!
This is so elegant, Marcia! I love the flourish impressed with gold and those butterflies are so pretty! Just beautiful, my friend!
Awesome and elegant, I had to study hard to see the fussy-cutting! This is really gorgeous, and I'm loving the color combo!
This is as elegant as it is pretty and those butterflies are fabulous!
Not to sound repetitive, but I echo everyone's sentiments about the elegance of this card. The gold and cream are luxurious together! Those cream and gold butterflies couldn't be sweeter. You aced this color palette!
Gorgeous and elegant card Marcia. Love how you used it in the Molded Frame EF. Those pretty butterflies are just the right finish to your card.
These are fabulous colors to work with, and I LOVE what you did with them. This is just so lovely and those butterflies aer the perfect finish!
Stunning take on the challenge colors.
Happy I could help out Marcia! Love the frame you've used and those butterflies are so sweet. Thanks for making the new colours shine! :)
Well, that plate was just patiently waiting for this color combo! This is just gorgeous, Marcia! The double colored textured butterflies stole my heart. WOW!
An elegant design, Marcia, and the detail on the butterflies is fantastic.
It's all been said, so I'll just repeat what the others have stated so eloquently: your card is gorgeous, elegant and stylish. An inspired, inspiring way to showcase our challenge colours.

I've never tried Betterpress with metallic inks, but, WOW, what an impact this floral panel makes! The butterflies in gold and cream are the perfect addition to your elegant card! Just gorgeous!
Beautiful and elegant card Marcia. Great way to use the lovely colours for the challenge. xx
A beautiful and elegant design, Marcia! I love the flourish look of the BP plate and it works so beautifully with the embossed background. The butterflies are like icing on the cake. So gorgeous!
Marcia ehat a beautiful card! The letterpress + foil press is gorgeous in gold! Now lets talk about the texture on those beautiful butterflies, so amazing and adds just the right amount of texture to your already textured design! Love this my friend! xo
I had to really look at your card to see that you had fussy cut the Betterpress image, Marcia! I wonder if you could have just embossed the panel with the frame EF?? That's what it looked like to me! The cream/gold layered butterflies are lovely over the panel - an elegant card for the challenge! Julia xx
