I have made this card for this challenge and for me, this is CAS!!! It would have taken me 10 minutes at the most, including embossing time (which took a bit longer as I had to use the sandwich press - I'm hoping the card doesn't smell like cheese or garlic LOL! If they do I could have started a new trend - edible cards!!!)
The two DP's with the doily edge came from our very own Lesley (Marleygo) in a very generous and most unexpected RAK, The small butterflies also came from her...she da bom!!! I made this at midnight and in the morning light I can see the splatters of embossing powder which show up so much more in the photo than IRL.
Basically I stamped the butterfly and sentiment in versamark and embossed with white embossing powder...threaded ribbon through the laced edge and stuck on 3 small butterflies...wha-la one quick and easy card...and remember...it is the DPs that make this look busier...but how could I resist using them - they are divine!!!
Thanks for looking...what you do think!?

The dp's are beautiful and I love the plum. The embossed butterfly is also a beauty!

I know one time I told you you were delusional not really thinking too much about what the word really meant ... until now. I know you are delusional about starting a new trend, Yup, this sure is one heck of a beautiful card, but a new garlic trend, I'm just not seeing things the same way you are. Yikes!

Linda, sandwich press? Google again...Do you not have an embossing gun sister? Talk to me! Sandwich press. I am going to look that up (probably right next to the lolly jar, huh?) and if I can make cards like this, I am going to git me one o' those thangs! Lol! Your card is beautiful! I love the butterflies, and that gorgeous purple DP! LYMI
EDIT: Oh, it's not an 'Aussie' thing, we have them here too. I am laughing and thinking, hey- that is not a bad idea. Cheese and garlic scented cards. Yumbly!

Oh that is so elegant and truly gorgeous!! Hey - you know - when I first started stamping - I used a non stick pan to emboss - so if it smells like garlic - girl - I've been there!!!
Love the beautiful white embossing - and your woven ribbon is just gorgeous!!!
