Using another of my birthday present stamps which I really love. I coloured the background with distress ink but I thought it was too bright when I'd done it so I cut a piece of vellum to the same size and ran them through the cuttlebug in an embossing folder which I have never used before, think it was free with a magazine some time ago but I really liked the effect so will be using it again. The centre piece is all one stamp and I cut it out with a circle die letting the flower and stalk overhang. I painted the flower and butterflies with watercolour pens. The small butterflies and sentiment are all part of the same set by Studio Light. I'd like to enter my card into

Such a pretty stamp Joan and the embossed vellum has worked a treat highlighting the centre with it's pretty design
