Butterflies and Lace
The current Butterfly challenge is Butterflies and L is for Lace, and I decided to use stamped lace instead of real, because I wanted to break open a couple of packs of never-used clear Kanban stamps that I bought in a QVC kit some time around the date of the invention of the wheel and was feeling guilty that they had lain unused for so long.
I stamped small butterflies at random and the scalloped lace border down the side of my card, then added a band of ribbon-trimmed cardto cover up where the border didn't match up for a bit of extra interest. The lace panel was stamped and embossed in white ink on white card, then I sponged a selection of distress inks over it, rubbing hard with a tissue to make sure no ink clung to the raised areas. Then it just needed a couple of butterflies to finish it off.

What a fabulous card! I love the lace panel - I thought it was real lace until I read what you'd written! Lovely butterflies fluttering around too.

That white lace panel is gorgeous and the butterflies are so pretty. It looks like gold card.
