Ok, Big BAD secret.... I read Romance Novels. I admit it, and am coming out of the closet, lol. I just love all those shining knights in armor, all chivalrous. I suppose it has something to do with all of the fairy stories I cut my teeth on as a kid, you know, the REAL fairy stories, by the Brothers Grimm (they were a bit grim too) One of my favorites was always Briar Rose. So here's a sweet romantic card for all those with a soft spot for maidens in distress- little girls, brides, and ladies with secret stashes of paperbacks hidden behind their complete works of Dickens ;-)

Cut and emboss sandcastle from gray cardstock. Stencil through the die with black ink.
Pop the castle out of the die and use the gold leaf pen to color the turret flag.
Cut six small butterflies from the white vellum. Pop them out and gold leaf their edges.
Cut a 4 1/4” by 5 1/2” panel from the Rose Diamond paper in the Earthy Pad.
Attach four gold corner stickers to each corner of the panel.
Cut a 1” by 5 1/2” panel from the turquoise distressed paper in the same pad.
Using the gray blue ink stamp the word “Romance” on this panel.
Tear a 2” x 5 1/2” panel out of the ivory colored mulberry paper and glue it to the rose diamond paper.
Mount the castle toward the top center of the mulberry, then attach the Romance panel in the center of the mulberry, slightly covering the bottom of the castle.
Bend the wings of the butterflies and glue them around the castle using crackle accents.
Attach the card front to the card base.
