I made this card for this week's Teapot Tuesday challenge. Carla (Covington Crafter) chose the theme, "Surely, You Jest" for this challenge. One of the things we could do was a faux technique. I chose to do the faux pressed flowers technique because I have always wanted to try this, and what a fun technique this is too. I discovered that I did not use enough glue on the 2 largest flowers so they are not as pressed as they should be, but now I know. I stamped the stems and even some background flowers, but also added the pressed flowers too. The butterfly is stamped, colored and fussy cut. Thank you for looking. ~Karen.
