This was part of the idea I first had for the Play Date Cafe challenge... black, white and a splash of burgundy. Not sure whether there is too much burgundy to count - but I like how this one turned out in the end. I tried something new....
the pleated ribbon. I stamped the Music background in Aged Mahogany ( the nearest ink I have to Burgundy) and added the pleated ribbon. Punched out 2 Martha Stewart Monarch butterflies and layered together. Added the black gems and put the whole panel onto black deckle cut card. As the background is quite busy looking I haven't added a sentiment.
Had a fab day with friends, stamping and talking... got lots of cards done, mainly doubles of ones I have already made.... got 4 Christmas ones finished that I had done the blue backgrounds for nearly 4 weeks ago!!!! Just needed to black stamp the three wise men and added the sentiment and layer the cards altogether.... more tomorrow on the others I made.
Got to run as we are heading out to a Pot Luck dinner with the Family Groups from our church... our group is meeting with other groups to eat and then watch the rugby. The All Blacks are playing Australia ~ in Hong Kong of all places~~~~
GO THE BLACKS!!!!!!!!

How pretty, wonderful punched butterfly and pleated ribbon! Thanks for playing at the PDCC.
Rich and beautiful! Love the ruffled ribbons and color combo! The added butterfly adds lovely interest, too! Have great time at the pot luck (I'm sure you will)! xoxo

Hi Dawn! Love the music background (haven't inked up my stamp yet!) and the ribbon treatment is gorgeous! Love the color combo, too!
Love the musical background in burgundy and the coordinating butterfly colors too! I've only used my musical bkgnd once, and didn't like the result, so I haven't seemed to want to use it again...hopefully soon.
Beautiful
The butterfly works well against that gorgeous backkground!
