Stamped with love for Unity

Hi!
    Hope all of you are well and the weather is good wherever you are. Today I'd like to share a card I made using stamps from the only Unity stamp set I've had since the past two years. It's Friends with Flair Time at Unity- a day to share cards made using their stamp and perhaps winning more. I love their stamps and I thought I'd try my luck *wink*. So, here's the card I actually made for the past Unity Challenge, but did not get here to post it on time.  
Supplies used:
Flowers & butterfly - Unity Stamps-Pixie licious Fairies
Border - Lili of the Valley-Delicate Corners
Sentiment - Gina K-Square Pegs
Crayola colour pencils
Rangers Diamond Stickles on botterfly & flower center
Rhinestones for flower centers 
Ink - Splendor #10 Circus
Eraser on a pencil
   The background was made using the 'Bokeh' technique, which I came across on Splitcoaststampers. To achieve this effect, the eraser of a pencil is inked & stamped on the project at random, several times. I used three shades of each blue and green and enjoyed stamping away. As for the flowers and butterfly, they were stamped directly onto the card and onto scraps of card, coloured and fussy cut. The flowers were cupped with a flower tool and glued to the stamped ones at the center, while the wings of the butterfly were curled slightly and glued on the stamped one at the lower edge.
I'm entering this card for challenges at:
Have a great weekend.
