It was the Not Quite Navy in the mix that threw me, but I was determined to give it a try anyway. I haven't used my Friends Never Fade stamp set for AGES, so that was my starting point. I coloured directly onto the stamp with Peach Parfait and Pear Pizzazz markers, and repeated the image along the strip of Whisper White card, which was adhered to my card base. My super-duper new Crimper has seen a bit more action, and of course my card wouldn't be complete without butterflies!
