DSC#136 - Butterfly Basics -Faux Tile Technique Card

Hi Stampers,

Here is a look at this weeks DOstamper Thursday DSC#136 Sketch Pad Challenge and my new Instructional Video on how to do the Faux Tile Technique used on the background of the card layer.  Hope you enjoy the card.  Your comments are always welcome.  God Bless!

The Faux Tile Technique in the background adds such elegance to the card, and it is really fun to do too.  Watch my video below and work along with me to create this beautiful card background.
