To create the background: ink the background stamp with tumbled glass ink, then touch around a few edges with Broken china & Shabby shutters inkpads. Stamp on white card, allow to dry. Trim, round the lower corners, layer on turquoise card stock, then onto a folded white card.
Stamp greeting & butterfly on a small banner. Layer banner onto a larger green banner, adhere ribbon around top of banner, add the bow, adhere to card front with mounting tape.
Stamp butterfly again on scrap blender card, colour & trim, add to the banner with mounting tape. Dot wings with pearl pen & add touches of glossy accents.
For the Ways to use it challenge to create your own background & the CAS butterfly song challenge.

What a gorgeous background! I would have sworn that was DP! Never thought of using more than one color on a background stamp. Thanks for the wonderful idea.

It must be much easier to do rock 'n' roll on a large stamp than some of the smaller ones, and it's added a lovely hint of green round the edges. What a lovely CAS layout, too.
