I focused on Jennifer's:
-horizontal blend from blue to green
-use of die cuts
-subtle thanks sentiment
I changed:
-amount of area blended
-punched up the colours a bit
-stamped butterflies vs die cut leaves
-die cut 'thanks' vs stamped
I started by stamping and masking the butterflies before blending a strip of blue and green ink over top. I die cut my sentiment and then popped it up with layers of the same die cut underneath.

This is eye-popping amazing! Those colors are just gorgeous together. Love the look of the masking tech for those whimsical butterflies and your blending of color on the sentiment to match the backdrop. Into my faves. I love Jennifer's card, too!

Holy cow, Ardyth! Your card is amazing! As is the inspiration card. Just stunning vibrant color and so much to look at with the butterflies and the shadow sentiment.

Beautiful watery bright colors on this - and I love the hidden die cut - everytime I see this technique I say I'm going to make a card using it - and then somehow don't!
