I made this card for my mother's birthday last week. This black and green beauty is a CASE from Andrea Walford, I even had black wrapping paper so the present matched!

Stamps: Sanded (wood: 112356), En Français (wood: 112358) Curly Cute (wood: 121500, clear: 120510). Card/Paper: Pear Pizzazz (121693), Basic Black (121686), Whisper White (106549). Ink: Pear Pizzazz (119784), Whisper White Craft Stampin' Pad (101731). Accessories: Basic Rhinestones Jewels (119246). Tools: Big Shot (113439), Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die (118138), Stampin' Dimensionals (104430).

This card is really quick to make and is stunning. The background was stamped in Pear Pizzazz (to match the card stock) with the Sanded background stamp. I stamped it off first so is wasn't too dark and over-powering. I then stamped the En Français background stamp using the Whisper White Craft stamp pad. Craft stamp pads are pigment inks that dry very slowly (which is great for embossing), so before matting it onto the Basic Black card stock, I heat set with my Heat Tool. Then to finish I added die-cut butterflies using the Beautiful Wings Embosslits Die and Rhinestones Jewels.
