It is created by making what is called a Serigraph. This consists of a colourful background made with a brayer and three or four co-ordinating colours.
This was something a little out of my comfort zone but I loved the look of the card in the magazine and wanted to give it a try!! I think it makes a nice anniversary card for the in-laws!

Using the Walnut Stain ink, the two butterfly stamps from the Penny Black Enjoy Life stamp set and the Crafty Individuals Wildflowers stamp set were randomly stamped over the sheet. The butterflies were then highlighted with the Sakura clear Stardust pen.
A second sheet was created by colouring a piece of white mulberry paper with the Tattered Rose and Antique Linen inks, and then over stamped with the Hero Arts Old Writing stamp and the Crafty Individuals Butterfly stamps with the Walnut Stain ink.
A third sheet was created by colouring the cream card with the Tattered Rose and Antique Linen inks and then embossed with the Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder. The raised dots were then coloured with the Walnut Stain ink.
The mulberry paper was backed with cream card and small squares were cut from all three sheets using a standard square Nestabilities die.
The edge of a 5"x7" card blank was punched using the Martha Stewart Daisy Fan deep-edge punch and a panel of the embossed card was adhered to the inside of the card so it can be seen through the punched edge.
Six of the small tiles were adhered to the front of the card and a small white Papermania adhesive pearl was added to a couple of the tiles.
The 'Just For You' sentiment, from the HOTP Sentiments stamp set, was stamped below the tiles using the Walnut Stain ink and traced over with the Sakura clear Stardust pen.
Using the Tattered Rose and Antique Linen inks, the larkspur image from the Crafty Individuals Wildflower stamp set was stamped at the bottom of the card blank.
A cream Papermania Imaginisce paper flower was coloured with the same inks and overstamped with the small butterfly, flourish frame and Old Writing stamps using the Walnut Stain ink. A large white adhesive pearl was added in the centre of the paper flower and adhered to the card over the edge of the larkspur stamped images.
I would like to enter this card into a few challenges:
