Hello Dogwoods and Butterflies

This week's For Your Inspiration challenge is another gorgeous photo (attached below).  I just love the colors here since they remind me of early fall in Yosemite when all of the leaves are changing colors.  When I combined this challenge with the Teapot Tuesday challenge this week, I not only had great inspiration, but I couldn't go wrong with whatever stamp set I chose to use.



For my project, I pulled out two of my favorite Mark's Finest Papers, a Heinrich Company stamp sets, Dogwood Blossoms and Hello Butterflies.  After stamping my images in memento tuxedo black ink onto Snow Storm Smooth premium paper, I pulled out my prismacolor markers and got to coloring making sure to cut out several blossoms and the butterflies to pop up later.  Once the coloring was done, I pulled out my stipple brush and lightly stippled Stampin Up! bashful blue ink around the main image before overstamping my saying in memento tuxedo black then layering and adhering to a razzleberry card.
