Butterfly Beauty

Hello!
    Happy Sunday! Sharing a card on which I tried heat embossing for the very first time. I wasn't too happy with the way it turned out, so added a bokeh background. 
Supplies used:
StampinUp-Swallowtail
SRM sticker (sentiment)
Ranger black embossing powder
Crayola felt tip markers 
pencil with eraser (bokeh Background)
I'm entering this card into challenges at...
