Carabelle Studio "Postcard" Birthday Card

Here's a Birthday card I made this morning, using a number of techniques.  It has a gel plate background, there's stamping, die cutting and heat embossing too! 

I used Distress Oxide Inks on the gel plate to create the background.  I then used the Carabelle Studio "Background Postcard", stamped in Versafine Clair "Chianti" ink.  I then coloured the butterflies with an orange coloured pencil.

I then die cut the "Hello" sentiment, using the Waffle Flower "Oversized Hello".  I stamped a sentiment from the same stamp and die set in Versafine Clair "Chianti" and heat embossed using Wow! clear embossing powder.

I used "Abandoned Coral" Distress Oxide Ink around the edges of the card, before mounting it on to a darker card to create a border.
