I made this card for today's CAS Challenge, to use our stencils and the Technique Challenge to stamp through our stencils. I also cased this card from fionna51, Diane, for yesterday's Featured Stamper Challenge:
I liked the simplicity of this design! I used the basic design elements from Diane's card, but changed all the specifics. For my card, I created a stencil with my Spellbinders circle die. I adhered that to my vanilla panel and stamped through the circle with my Marble texture cube using three different ink colors. I dried this and sprinkled a bit of gold embossing powder on it and melted from the back. I removed my mask and stamped my greeting. I die cut a tropical flourish from Island Indigo CS and punched a butterfly. These two elements were adhered to the card and small gold pearls added to accent the butterfly. A Starlight gel pen was used to accent the leaves. This layer was mounted onto a folded Island Indigo card.

This is beautiful! I love the graceful elegance of the swirl against the marbled background circle. Great design too!
