I created this card for the color challenge this week: Basic Gray, Sahara Sand and Whisper White. I used the technique from this week too: Magical Masking Tape. I inked the masking tape with Sahara Sand and Basic Gray and pressed onto the glossy card stock. I then punched the bottom edge and mounted onto Basic Gray card stock. The Basic Gray doily is cut/embossed with Spellbinders Iron Motif die and the Sahara Sand circle embossed with Textile Texture folder and added to the center. The butterfly is inked with Sahara Sand and a bit of the Basic Gray on the edges before stamping onto the glossy card stock before cutting out and adding foam squares to pop the wings up a bit. The sentiment is stamped onto the card front with the Basic Gray ink. The butterfly image and the sentiment are from a new set released today by MFP called Daffodil Greetings.
Thanks for looking!

Karen, what a lovely card. The "Peace" sentiment goes so well with these "calm" colors. Love your medallion with the exquisite butterfly. I like the artisitic touch of the "brush strokes" that the tape technique gave you.
