Julie picked an awesome site of colors for this challenge. I went with Cyan....a mix of green and blue. I probably should have gotten in a little more green. Love this photo which is my inspiration: https://qph.fs.quoracdn.net/main-qim...d5f9c6000.webp
While, I love these colors, coral and turquoise are my faves. I made a card with them for the challenge but never got happy with it so made this one to post instead.
I read the color blue is trust, peace, honesty, loyal and reduces stress, evokes relaxation. Green is a balancing color in the middle of the visible spectrum. These colors make me think of the ocean...so a great reason to love them.
I found this stamp/die cut set at Hobby Lobby and was so anxious to use it. The front fits right down to the back. I cut a smidget off the back so it would be perfectly even with the front ....and I do mean a smidgen.
Colored all the butterflies with Copics and added the sentiment. It is a one layer.

Oh this is lovely, Brenda. I almost chose the same image for my inspiration. I love the die cut edge. I have never seen that before and it goes great with the butterflies. Your coloring is wonderful.

Well, Brenda, I know exactly what you mean about making one for the challenge and then not being happy with it. Happened to me too this morning. I was frustrated. Anyhoo, back to you and yours, lol....this is so very elegant looking. Your butterflies are beautiful and I liked your title for your card. Fun!
