This month we were given this fabulous picture picked out by our very own Karen Knegten to use as our inspiration.
I used the Dogwood and Butterfly stamp set. The dogwood branch is colored with copics - E23,25,50,51,53/R20,22,24,27,29/YG03,63.
The roof is embossed with a checkerboard embossing folder. The card base is embossed with a wood grain impression plate.
The paper is Pure Luxury Chocolate Brown, Rocket Red and white.

For my next card I drawn to the blues and tans in the picture.
I used the Dogwood and Butterfly stamp set again for this card. And colored the flowers and butterfly with copics - B21,23,24/E25,30,35/Y21/YR21/YG03,63.
