I had a bit of fun with my new butterfly punch this week. I love the simplistic look of colored butterflies on a white background. For the two polka dot cards, I wanted to play with repeating background images. I stamped the same simple dot flair stamp in a yellow, light pink, and pink to match the designer paper (DSP stack from Stampin' Up). In real life, the colors work much better. Plus, I love the repeating colors. I want to play around with the idea some more. Lastly, I used another sheet of the DSP for the background of the "Bloom" card. I tried to bring out the green of the paper with green ink, but it doesn't quite work right. Maybe layering of stamps is a bit much.
