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.

What beautiful butterflies, Brenda - and a super shaped card too. I remember one summer holiday as kids having a jigsaw puzzle with butterflies in blues like that!

Wow, Brenda! I've been a blue gal for all my life and still wear mostly blue! Ha! This is an absolutely stunning card with these butterflies, and I just saw this stamp/die set and love how versatile it is. Truly a great set. I love your card and love how beautiful your blue butterflies are -- perfect for the inspiration piece. Hugs and love! xoxo
