MARIMEKKO RUUSUPUU UMBRELLA Inspired

I made this card for last Saturday's inspiration challenge which was to make a card based off of one of the Marimekko umbrellas.  I choose to find my inspiration in the Ruusupuu style umbrella.  

I thought these little butterflies would be a fun way to add a little whimsy to an otherwise pretty serious card.  I colored them bright pink with my markers.  Then I have the off set on some black circles I punched out and drew "Faith Dots" on.  I highlighted one of the words in the sentiment and I inked up the edges of my sentiment with my marker.  

Basic Recipe:
Stamps: Unity KOTM July
Paper: white, black CS, Me and My Big Ideas DP
Ink: Black
Accessories: markers, circle punch, gel pen
