Butterfly Fields

Good evening!

My friend Marie has another inspiration challenge up on her blog.  Here is her source of inspiration this week (from this site):

There is also a new Saturday Sketch Challenge over at Stamping 411, which I used in creating my card...

I was inspired by the colors in the photo, and they just felt like spring/summer to me.. so thus, my theme.  :)

My panel was a little too tall, so I overlapped the ribbon a bit.  I stamped the grass image from Inspired by Nature in two different colors - Certainly Celery and Garden Green.  I added some flowers in Rose Red and Pumpkin Pie from the Flight of the Butterfly set, which is also where the sentiment and butterfly comes from.  The butterfly is actually two stamps - the filled-in part, and the polka dots are separate stamps.  After inking up the filled-in stamp in Melon Mambo, I stamped off on scratch paper before stamping on my cardstock.  The polka dots were stamped normally with Melon Mambo.  To add more interest, I tied a corduroy button around the bow after tying.

Thanks for visiting!  I'm off to finish off my circle journal sign-in pages.  Please stop on by Marie's blog if you get a chance.. she'd love for you to play along!
