Wonderful site; so many beautiful color choices. I decided to use colors that are very unusual for me "Baker's Brushstrokes" http://blog.design-seeds.com/tag/gray/ - Brown, Pink and Grey, and to use the positive/negative technique (don't know if I've ever used it before). I couldn't find a grey that went well with my pink and brown, so I used silver as my third color (kinda/sorta grey?). I used SB/card creator's, largest die for the background and MB/Darla and Vivienne for the butterfly (cut 2 of the Vivienne so the top one could stand away). Added TL/sentiment on MFT/Fishtail Flag and 6 jewels. Silver card base.

What a clever idea - I've long loved the pos+neg, but not tried it - you have inspired me today Priscilla! Your silver is perfect, maybe better than grey I think.

Stunning card, Priscilla. The 2 part butterfly withthe light and dark part underneath is so creative. The silver bkg may have been because you didn't have grey, but it looks awesome. Just a lovely card my friend.

WOW, this one headed right into favorites! Not only are those colors fabulous but that butterfly is awesome! I must have studied that for a long time to figure out how you got that wonderful effect. Adding the silver looks so perfect! Fantastic!
