I was trying to be clever with the background paper for this card.  I had already made the background a while ago with spray colours and I used salt to make a blotchy pattern on it but I wanted a few more layers in keeping with the recipient’s likes (numbers and accountancy) so I used stamps with those themes but just quite low key in the background.  The butterfly is stamped onto acetate and coloured on the back side using Copic pens and Stickles.
