Penny Black and More - August Challenge

Hello, I am back today with my card for this month's Penny Black and More challenge. This month we'd like to see "All Creatures Great and Small".

This card was quick to make, I wanted to work ahead last month so I wouldn't have to make cards while I had overseas visitor. Not so sure I like how it turned out, but even though my visit has now left, there wasn't enough time to make another card...But at least I enjoyed making this as it's been ages since I've done this technique - not sure if it's called "ghosting" or "emboss resist".

I first stamped the sentiment using black stazon ink on white glossy card stock. Then I stamped the butterflies using versamark ink. They were heat embossed using white embossing powder.

Next I used distress inks to ink up the background. Added the ribbon and twine and them mounted on turquoise and white card stock. 

The stamp set I used is called "Snippets" by Penny Black, both the butterflies and sentiment are from this set.

As always we  have fantastic prizes to give away from our amazing sponsors - this week it's Penny Black, Crafts U Love, Sizzix, Crafty Ribbons, so many chances to win! We'd love for you to come play  along!
