A Vintage-y happy birthday :)

Hi everyone,
I have another card to share with you all....And this time it's based on a sketch from Mojo Monday!...This card came together with a lot of difficulty...Somehow,things were just not working out and it took a better part of a day to complete this!...But I am quite happy with the end result...So here's a look at what I have created :                                                                    
And here's a closer look at the butterfly and the flowers :
                                                                       
I have heat embossed the butterfly with ZING! embossing powder in black and in real life it has a very nice glitter on it which I have not been able to capture in the photos but it really looks very beautiful!..The flowers are all punched using different sizes of daisy punch from Jef....and I have generously used distress stains to color them and the butterfly.....The dark brown background and the frame have both been distressed with Memento rich cocoa dye ink...It's such a vibrant shade of brown...I think I like it even more than Vintage photo distress ink !

Supplies used :
Base CS-Campap
Brown CS-DCWV stack.
Pattern papers-Cosmo cricket(Dunno know the collection though !)
Embossing folder-Swiss dots by Provcraft
Dies :
Spellbinder's Beaded square,Cheery lynn mini french pastry doily.
Punches:
Daisy punches,Punch bunch sprig leaves.
Stamps:
Kaisercraft butterfly stamp set
Inspired by stamping-Creative tags set
Inks:
Distress stains-Wild honey,Peacock feathers.
Hero arts Butter bar and Tide pool ink.
Memento rich cocoa,Versafine onyx black.

My card is based on this sketch below :
