Had to improvise with the colours again and didn't have anything teal except for ribbon and a marker! I bought white ep at the weekend and thought I'd give it a go today, turned out to be quite a tricky operation as it seems to end up everywhere even though I'd swiped the card with a talc bag first.
I cut a layer of green card to try and match the wasabi, inked one of the garden flower stamps with versamark then stamped at various angles for a border top and bottom (love this versamark effect!). I cut a piece of white and green card with nestabilities, stamped the flowers again and a greeting on the green with versamark then embossed with white ep. The next step is where it all goes astray and I learned a lesson. I stamped the butterfly bottom left and ep'd with the white but the versamark was still tacky I think and took up some of the white. It's a very smudgy butterfly but I managed to scrape some of it off!
I added the teal ribbon which is much more teal IRL, a diamante ribbon slide and some little dots in the corner with a teal marker. TFL.

This turned out beautifully, Chris!!! Your background is lovely with the stamped flower images and that gorgeous white butterfly!!! The contrast of the white on the green in the main image is stunning...beautiful ribbon, too!! Nicely done, my friend!!

This is beautiful!!! That ribbon is awesome!!! Had to chuckle at your lesson in ep and versamark. I made a card last spring that had a versamarked bg. Wanted to add a sentiment with heat embossing! I was on a stamping weekend and didn't have the sentiment with me. Two days later, when I was finally at home, I added the sentiment and ep....the versamark was still tacky enough to grad the ep...had to emboss the entire bg!!! Guess we live and learn! Sorry about rambling on, but I've been home a lot lately and the dog doesn't always carry on a brilliant conversation...
Love your card!!!

Very nice Chris! I've been thinking about using white ep, there we go again, thinking alike! LOL Just love the look of this card. Love how you continued the image on the bottom of the card. Love the ribbon with the *bling* on it...... Boy, you do good work! TFS :0)
