This is another card for Less is More and actually was the first one I was working on. Do you recognise the butterflies from yesterday? They diverted me in a different direction but I decided to use them again to finish my original card.
My background panel was created by swiping my Daffodil Delight ink pad across a Whisper White square. I then stamped the splodges from French Foliage also in Daffodil Delight. The flourish is from Creative Elements stamped in Basic Black twice at the edge of the panel. I coloured the little leaves using my Blender Pen in Daffodil Delight and More Mustard. As with yesterday, one butterfly was stamped in Basic Black on Daffodil Delight. The other was inked in More Mustard and with a blender pen added Daffodil Delight before stamping onto Whisper White. A Basic Pearl was added to each butterfly. The sentiment is from the same stamp set.
I'm very interested in your comments on this one as I'm a bit out of my comfort zone with regards to the background. However it is great to challenge yourself and I'm pleased to have made two completely different looking cards using the same stamp set and same colour scheme.

Great card with a lovely background. I just find the yellow difficult, not really my colour! Hugs, Valerie
I really like the background - there's a lot of 'texture' there with the stamped leaves and splodges. And the butterflies are lovely!
It's beautiful Aileen, such freedom here, it's looks like you enjoyed yourself:0) Love the splodgy effect and the contrast of the black butterfly, Gay xxx
Love your cards!

I think your inky background is fab Aileen, there's still plenty of white showing so it still has that clean and fresh feeling. A great card. xx
Lots of inky wonderfulness going on here Aileen, Jo x

Quite different but just as lovely...the background is great, I like the effect of the swiped inkpad :0) The black and yellow butterfly is a perfect match to the panel :0)
