Hi all, I don't really have a challenge for this card but I like how it turned out so I'm posting it!!
My bg was done by tapping ink pads down onto foil, spraying with water and smooshing my paper into it. It gave a nice soft look. The die is a new one from MariAnne Designs. I pierced trails and pierced holes for my stitching.
Thanks for looking!

Oh, Robin, what a soft and beautiful card! I love this new die and how you've added the pierced trails. And I see some hand stitches there! Beautifully done, precious friend, and I love this sentiment - it's so very true! May we all continue to hold on to our Only Hope! Love you and sending hugs! xoxo

What soft, gorgeous colors, Robin! That die is gorgeous and your technique is a favorite of mine that I haven't used in a while. Your pierced scrolls are a wonderful addition to your beautifully designed card!

Beautful, absolutley beautiful mate. The soft colours and gentle texture are perfect. The little pierced tails and flight path are the icing on the cake.....hmmm but then again so is the sentiment and lovely hand stitching.

Gorgeous card! Love the soft pretty colors. The butterflies look fabulous. The pierced butterfly trails and stitching holes add a lovely touch. Awesome die-cut background. Excellent saying! Well done. TFS
