Red Rubber Inspirational #120 - May Flowers

Drea leads the Red Rubber Inspirational Challenge this week with May Flowers.  I've chosen Dotty Flowers stamp set for my card.  I inked the stamps up with one color and then touched the edges of the stamp to another color ink pad to give the multicolor effect.  That is fun to do.  I used an embossing folder for the background card.  The dotted ribbon across the bottom of the card is actually part of the stamp set.  Cool, huh?

Nature's Greeting Butterfly by Pickled Potpourri

Today I have two cards for you using the Nature's Greetings Butterfly from Pickled Potpourri.  I've colored my butterflies with Copic markers, and you will notice that I made them different colors on the two cards.  I like using digital images because they can be sized to any dimensions desired. So on the first card, I made the same butterfly three different sizes.  The sentiment on the first card is from Rose Sentiments, and the one on the second card is from Elegant Holiday Greetings.
