Butterflies and Bicycles

A couple fun cards to share with you today.
 First up, Moxie Fab has a challenge to USE WASHI TAPE or paper tape. I love paper tape so I went to this retro sketch that I wasn't able to use and put it to use with this great wooden butterfly that I picked up at Micheals. When I saw this laser cut butterfly, I knew it would be fun with this particular sketch.
 The background is a Hero Arts stamp stamped with a gray stamp pad (the white portion is the stamp pattern). I then took my paper tape which is Recollections and made a frame around the stamped piece. Talk about easy and fast!!! I accented the butterfly with a cute American Crafts button I just picked up at Target.
 I went back to this older retro sketch for my inspiration.
 Next up, I used the CASE this sketch for my inspiration plus the Masculine challenge at Addicted To CAS challenge.
 Do you see my new, yummy woodgrain stamp from Hero Arts? Can I say I am madly in love with this one and I know I will use it often. I used a soft, Fluid Chalk sandy colored stamp pad. It was so easy to finish the card with this little wood bicycle and the little banner stamp, also from Hero Arts.
 Here is the CASE this sketch.
And the Addicted to CAS challenge.
Thanks for visiting, Linda (lbpost)

    Your bicycle is such a great image for your masculine card. You really did a fantastic job with both of these projects.
