One of my unofficial New Year's resolutions, was to try to use some of the things in my stash that I have had forever (or at least a long time). The background on this card was made using one of those things: a rub-on from Glitz. I love Fleur de Lis symbols so I really loved this rub-on when I got it, but just wasn't sure how to use it. I finally broke down and pulled it out. I've decided that rub-ons are too difficult for me (maybe they work better when you use them soon after you get them), but I do really like how it came out. I stamped the large butterfly with a damask image, but found it to be a bit too dark, so I added the vellum butterfly over top. I think I like it better that way.
