Brazen Brilliance Wings

I have been wanting to participate in the Try That Technique challenge that Beth and Diana do each week and I finally got a chance to.  It's a shame that the technique does not really show up on a scan because it turned out pretty.  I also wanted to be sure to get in on the Wings challenge from Gingersnap Creations. I definitely like how it turned out.  The butterfly is from The Angel Company.  The background stamp is a world map from Flourishes though it is difficult to see.  To gather the crepe paper ribbon I used thin Score Tape.   I first taped one side of the tape to my craft sheet (where it won't stick) then laid the crepe paper down on the tape, gathering as I went.  Then I lift the whole thing up and put it on my card.  That was the first time I had tried that.  Anyway, without further ado, the card, Wings:
