Great Challenge though this week, you can check it out HERE, and the guidelines are all listed, I think I covered them all!! Usually the challenges are quite easy, but this one was a bit more difficult, which is good, gets us to get our thinking caps on!! Anyway, check it out and of course, you can check out Joan's wonderful card HERE, and Selma's card example from Selma's Stamping corner, can be found HERE.
My card will follow, and I also am going to show the inside of the card as well. For now I have left my sentiment off as I am not sure what I am going to use the card for yet. I do this with most of my cards, unless I am making a specific card for someone.
If you have any questions, please let me know, almost all of the items I used can be purchased at Joan's Gardens. The lace I got at a local craft store, the dies were all Memory box or My Favorite Things.
Thanks for stopping by and have a wonderful week.

Thanks Joan, I guess I am just not used to working with black and white, I just felt like it was not done yet, like something else should be going on, I did add the two little butterflies after you looked at it. Guess I have to use black and white more often. Thanks for the comment! You know what is going on, I am just glad I got one done!!! That was a miracle.
