Betty gave us the following lovely colors for the CC today:
Perfect Plum
Summer Starfruit
Tangerine Tango
Neutrals of Choice
Dessert: to add Pool Party (which I did not)
I stamped my flower image on white CS and filled in the bg with my black Copic marker(not as time-consuming as you might think). The butterfly is stamped and cut out on computer paper....I like the "lightness" of feeling it gives. Besides with the saturation of the Copic ink, both sides get colored. Also, using Copics, I tried to get as close as possible to the chosen colors for today.

Wow! I thought the black was black paper and was amazed at how you got the flower to be so vibrant on it. Always fascinated with those of you that use Copics-I do not. The butterfly is so beautiful.

I always look forward to opening your challenge posts, and this is another winner. LOVE that bg. Never thought about doing it and it really does make your flower (which is beautifully colored, BTW) pop. I'm going to have to try that.
The butterfly is lovely as well. This card is gorgeous!

This is just too gorgeous. I absolutely love it. How come when I read the list I thought ..not really colours I would ever use. Then I see this dazzling diamond and get inspired to give it a try!! Funny how that works! LOL
