Hello Stampers!!  I am sharing a card that I made for the Featured Stamper challenge over at Splitcoaststampers.  Here is the card I CASED:

For my card I started by picking out some patterned paper.  Then I picked out some coordinating Distress Inks.  I ink blended a background, and die cut it into an oval.  Next I stamped the silhouette image.  I decided to use a dark brown instead of black.  I thought it would compliment the soft colors I chose.  I thought black would be too stark.  Next I cut the patterned paper, stamped a sentiment, and adhered it to the card base.  I used some wavy trim to polish up the edge of the patterned paper.  And to finish the front I added some butterflies to the focal image, matted it with pebbled path cardstock, and popped it up onto the card base.  For the inside I stamped and die cut the sentiment and added it to a strip of patterned paper.

That's all for now, thanks for stopping by!!
