Butterfly Kisses

This card is for the challenge at Crazy 4 Challenges, challenge #240, using stenciles.  I have had this doily stencil for awhile, but have not had a chance to use it.  So this was the perfect time to pull it out and make this card.  I used tea dye distress ink with shades of antique photo ink.  The flowers are Martha Stewart flowers that were white, but I colored them with yellow copic markers and colored the centers brown for more color.  Then I added the butterlies and the sentiment. The blue butterfly is tamped on vellum and embossed with blue embossing powder and fussy cut.

Red, White and Blue

It's a color challenge at Stampin Pretty Pals using the color red, white and blue.  I combined this challenge with a sketch challenge #140 at Freshly Made Sketches and also at Crazy 4 Challenges #243.  It made a very stricking card.  For the flowers I used the Petite Petals punch from Stampin Up.
