Layering Love, Flourishing Phrases, Elegant Butterfly, Wedding or Anniversary Card, Background Technique

Today's card is one I did last month at Terri's Stamp a Stack.  It was fun to play with the stamping blocks.  I have not done this technique before.  I found it fun, interesting, creative and even a bit messy!!!  

We took the largest clear block and inked it up with Smoky Slate.  Then we set our card stock (Smoky Slate) on top, covered it with a scrap piece of paper and rubbed across it to get the ink to transfer to the card stock.  That was pretty much it. Each one looked different and I thought it gave the card stock the look of suede.  

We used the "Fancy Frost" Specialty Paper for the white strip.  The butterflies were punched using the "Elegant Butterfly" punch and we used the Gold, Silver, and Copper colored Foil Sheets.  We added pearls down the center of each butterfly. They were set in place using Dimensionals.  It's a pretty simple card and yet elegant.

Thank you SO much for visiting today,
