Textured Penny Black

I made this card using the Penny Black 'To Cake Moment' stamp.  The embossing was done with the Cuttlebug D'Vine Swirl Folder and the butterfly was cut using the Martha Stewart Butterfly Punch.
I coloured the image with copics.  The card candi and the sentiment are from Craftwork Cards.  The lace and ribbon are from my stash!
I was very good today and the backing paper is from my scraps drawer!  Thought I'd better start using it as I am struggling to get any more in!! lol....






I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
Penny Black Challenge for which the theme is 'touch, feely'
Simon says Stamp for which the theme is food and drink

Hi Catherine, such a lovely card - everything about it is perfect! If you're using up scraps (snippets) why not join in Jules Crafty Snippets Challenge each week, Sunday to Sunday (it's just for fun). I posted a shoes and handbags card on my blog this week and the link will be there. Dashing off to do some ironing right now - much rather be crafting!! :( Di xx)

Hi there Catherine! Beautiful card hun, I love the color combo!
You stopped by my blog earlier this week and were wondering about the swirl I used on my latest Sassy(city girl) and I wanted to let you know it was cut using my Cricut and the Sophisticated cartridge by Teresa Collins.
Have a great day!
