Oh, it is so difficult to make a one-layer-card because it is so tempting to add a little bit of bling here, a little button there (lol) ... this time I managed to restrain myself and do without add-ons and it was good fun, I basically inked it all up: the background is brushed distress ink 'Stormy Sky' stencilled with distress ink 'Faded Jeans' using a Tattered Angel stencil. The stamped images are all from various stamp sets from Tim Holtz/Stamper Anonymous. And at last I dabbed a little bit of various acrylic inks around the corners.
The postcard will be posted tomorrow and I hope the recipient likes it, Petra.

This is lovely, Petra. I much prefer one layer cards because it makes you work that bit harder to create texture and interest and you've managed to do that here - beautifully! Lovely work x
So beautiful, gorgeous stamp. Thank you for joining us this fortnight at Craft-room challenge. Good luck. hugs

This is great Petra. Those butterflies feel/look as if they are hovering slightly above the postcard.
