Artisan Butterfly Basics

Good morning lovelies, I've made this card in two different colour ways (crisp cantaloupe or Sahara sand) for the purposes of the blog I will discuss the card using Crisp Cantaloupe.
The base card is Very Vanilla. Then l cut a mat of Crisp Cantaloupe c.s.and embossed it using the Lovely Lace embossing folder.
I cut a mat of Very Vanilla and using Crisp Cantaloupe ink I made a background. To do this I used the Honeycomb stamp from the Butterfly basics stamp set, a Rose Stencil from the Artisan Embellishment kit and lastly the tiny splatter stamp from Gorgeous Grunge. I alternated between the three along the edges of the Vanilla mat.
Then l made another mat of Crisp Cantaloupe and embossedit with same folder.
I stamped the flower from the stamp set on Very Vanilla c.s. and then on some scraps l stamped the flower heads another twice and hand cut them to decoupaged them onto the picture.
Using the butterfly from the Basic Butterfly stamp set l stamped 2 in Sahara Sand for a contrast and punched them out using the  Bitty Butterfly punch then adhered them to the picture.
to finish l used one of the sentiments stamped onto Very Vanilla and matted onto Crisp Cantaloupe.
The Rose Ribbon was added to the bottom of the card from the Artisan Embellishment kit.
If you look at the picture one card is distressed the other is normal, l think each technique lends itself nicely to this card. 
Have a great day now, take care, Joanne x
