Unusual colors for a butterfly card, but I like the result. I stacked layers of lace, dp and the flourishes.
The card front is chocolate chip. I stamped the two part flourishes with black ink and then with white craft ink. I then layered the dp which has a torn and distressed edge with a bit of lace peeking out from behind. I then stacked a bit of black ribbon onto that. The sentiment is stamped with brown ink onto the white cs, embossed with a Spellbinders oval and then torn and distressed. I mounted that onto the black cs which is also torn and distressed. I added a knot of black ribbon at the top. The butterfly is stamped with black ink onto the brown cs and cut out, lightly distressing the edges and popping up with a foam square.
I hope you like it. Thanks for looking!

Karen, this is a beautiful card. I've always thought black/brown make a stunning, sophisticated combination....in cards and in clothing. Love how you thought laterally and stacked stamped images...very clever....the rest of us are busy piling up the paper! : )
