I took my inspiration for my card from the sketch over at The Paper Players - rather than just use DSP for the layers I chose to do this triple stamping.
I used a stamp from Timeless Textures (that gorgeous filigree flower one) inked in Crumb Cake on to Whisper White. I then went over it with Mint Macaron with a stamp from a retired set Nature's Perfection (I just love this set!) If I were to do another one of these, and I surely will, I would make sure that the bolder stamp was a solid image - The one I chose wasn't and it didn't look right so I grabbed a blender pen and coloured the images in which makes it look a lot better. I used the butterfly from Natures Perfection and added this as my 'shape' for the challenge. The sentiment is from Watercolor Wings and I added a strip of Crumb Cake ribbon. The butterfly has a touch of Spectrum Noir glitter pen to make it shine.
I was also inspired by the following challenges:

TGIF - Butterflies
Inkspirational - Use Your Stash

Fiona, if your card is “old fashioned,” it looks new to me! I love the design and colors you chose! Thank you for sharing with the Paper Players!
What a lovely card! The soft colors are beautiful. I've always loved that style of layered card, and you really showcased it well. Thanks for joining TGIFC this week.
I like you make what you love to-that is what it is all about. I truly believe you should make what makes your heart happy not just jump on the latest craze. An here your triple layer stamping has worked perfectly. I love the colour combo and added the textured ribbon was the perfect choice. Thanks for joining Ink x
This is gorgeous! Your colors and layers are beautiful.Thanks for playing along at The Paper Players!
Great take on the sketch. I love that you didn't use DSP and used the stamping on each layer instead. So glad you joined us at the Paper Players this week
