Courage is My Strength

I was inspired by the Unity Show & Tell challenge on Facebook to use stripes and plaids with  an Angie Girl image.  I decided to use the plaids and stripes to use a different image.  I love butterflies and as a breast cancer survivor I decided to create a plaid butterfly using the Unity Stamp Company Courage Is My Strength stamp set.  I created the background using distress inks, water mister, and watercolor paper.
