Yay, Monika's playing at The Play Date Cafe again! ;) I loooove to see what you come up, and adore your hand-stamped background paper. This butterfly is just so wonderful in its sheerness too. Thanks for playing with us!

How very beautiful, Monika! I just love upcycling, and I think you're frame is a really fabulous way to use old packaging. It's beautiful and earth-friendly all at the same time. Love the soft colors and love your stamped background. The corrugated cardboard adds such great texture. Really lovely project!

I think the background paper came out beautiful Monika. I love your card. Embossing the buttefly white on Vellum is a great idea.
Enjoy the weekend.:)
