I started off in a nice genteel fashion, stamping the pink central decorative part and then added some pink flourishes around the corners and sides. I then came in with the dark black Versamark ink. I inked the corners, and then started on making a flourish 'forest'. It reminds me of the story of 'Sleeping Beauty', the thorn forest growing up and taking over the pretty fairytale castle.
I used a faded stamp pad to add the shading around the white area and I finished off by adding the butterfly. I was wondering whether to colour the butterfly in some way, but then thought it would distract from the simple stamp appeal of the card.

Thank you for your kind comments. I don't have anyone in mind for this card so I'm thinking I will frame it, Rainmac. What a good idea! :-) qwiksave x
Wow!! Now that is absolutely stunning!! Jaqui x
your card is beautiful, I would like to start crafting and making cards would be a starting point - the simplest question keeps occuring to me though - how do I fold my card neatly without it wrinkling and looking shabby and home done?
Sorry Hailz18, I have only just seen your question today (28th April). I use what is called a bone folder to make my cards fold better. They are only about £2 from craft shops. You could also flatten the fold with a ruler on its edge. That helps them look less creased. Hope I have helped, qwiksave x
The excellent answer, I congratulate
