1. Cut a piece of Centura Pearl card slightly smaller than the base card. On the reverse of the card stamp around the edge using Archival ink and a small stamp from the butterfly set, once dry distress the edges with Shaded Lilac. Mat and layer this onto the base card.

2. Stamp two of the decoupage toppers and one sentiment using the Archival ink pad, again distress the edges of the sentiment and one topper. Cut the large butterfly out of the other topper and colour in using a Zig water brush and DI. 

3. On a piece of Satin Lilac Card using low tac tape stick down the Flower Flourish stencil and spread the Diamond Sparkle Medium on it. Once covered carefully remove the stencil and leave to dry, I tend to batch make different backgrounds so that I've got a variety to chose from.

4. Mat and layer the lilac card and then the toppers on to the base card then add some matching ribbon around the card. Stick the decoupage butterfly on and finish it off with a little bit of stickles and self adhesive jewels. 

I hope that you like this and try out the techniques yourself, the sparkle medium is especially nice to work with.
