Here is the card I made today:

Whimsy stamps stock several different Digital stamp producers and one of those is Raindrop Echo Designs.

This digital sentiment is one of Ann's and I love it.

It is simply stamped onto white card and cut out using my scalloped edge square nestabilitie.

I have added some gorgeous lilac ribbon from, of course, Crafty Ribbons and stamped the background card with a butterfly stamp from Clarity Stamp.

I then added to 3D butterfly stickers just to finish it off before spraying the whole card with Spray N Sparkle Silver glitter to finish it off.

So why not drop in to the Crafty Ribbons Pure Inspiration blog and sign up to be in with a chance of winning today's fabulous prize.

Remember that all the Linkys are open until the final day on Sunday and winners will be announced on 13th August.

I have used one of their Scallop Circle Cards and folded it in half and then added the white circle on top so that it stands proud above the half circle.

The decoupage is one I bought from the Crazy Purple Frog some time ago and forgot all about.

The gorgeous ribbon across the middle is, of course, from Crafty Ribbons.

Here is a view from the side which shows off the decoupage a bit better.

I decided to use the two butterflies as extras rather than raise them up any more and I think they look ok??
