Flower and Butterfly Cards

I recently made the these cards using a technique I learned from the following site:  Wrinkled Flower Coloured with Distressed Ink Tutorial.  I made mine a little differently because I didn't have any distressed ink.  I used what I had on hand, some of my kids' watercolor markers.  I think they still came out very nice.  I also tried this technique with some butterflies.  I didn't have the right colored pink paper for a couple of the cards so I used the same technique to make a couple of sheets of background paper as well.  I think they came out looking like handmade paper and I really like the texture.
 
 
 






 
 
This card was made into a butterfly shaped card by offsetting the die so it wouldn't cut through the top layer.  I sponged the edges.
