Monochrome Washi Tape

Before I clear my crafting table for holidays and days out, I decided I would have a go at using washi tape. Washi tape is  new experience for me, and it took three attempts at using it before I was happy with this card. I have so many black and silver snippets of card left over from Stephen's wedding stationery that I really need to start using! I love monochrome cards. I think they look clean and elegant.

 
 
I die cut the two shapes using Spellbinders big scalloped ovals and the butterfly is also from
Spellbinders.
 
I would like to enter my card for the following challenges:

    Hello Ruth and welcome to my butterfly challenge. Your card is indeed very elegant and I like your use of the washi tape on card and then die cutting a shape from it. Butterfly looks just right. Thankyou for fluttering by hugs Mrs A.
