Thank you all for the lovely comments on my wee butterfly! It gives me a lot of encouragement to read them.
Made up a little patterned paper with the stamps from the Anniversary set, Everyday Classics, (PapertreyInk) wish I had photographed it. Anyhow - it turned out quite a large scale design so I made a 5x7 card with it.
I love the flourish type image and started with that in Smokey Grey Versafine Ink on the Linen Texture Vellum from PapertreyInk - added a tea cup in Raw Sienna, Palette ink from PapertreyInk, and needled little holes to give the impression of steam. Then added the flowers - gorgeous stamps - love these.
Mounted it on Grey cardstock from my stash, added a bit of ribbon and a wee sentiment - also from the Everyday Classics set.
Hope it tickles.

Another lovely creation. I think the pierced steam is a perfect addition to this card.
Love how your ribbon folds lead the eye to the sentiment tag! And the paper pierced steam was the first thing I saw, love it! Another beauty and Totally original background! :>
