Color Hues Challenge with A Butterfly Card

 Hello there I have a Butterfly card today for the current Color Hues Challenge #108 Again I thought these colors were so fun as they are my favorite to work with.  I was still thinking though what can I make with mostly those colors? 




Since Today is Earth Day I think this Butterfly ties in well.  I used the Spellbinders Pop Up Butterfly die by Bibi Cameron that has been in my stash FOREVER.  Can you relate? I love butterflies and I think they can be perfect for any Occasion.  

I started out with cutting out the wings and body using white cardstock 110 pounds. I then ink blended my wings with Simon Says Stamp ink cube in High Dive.  I then cut out the abdomen with pattern paper from Spellbinders Under The Sea Magic 6x6 Paper Pack.  The abdomen was colored with a W9 Copic marker.


Next, I put my butterfly together using liquid glue.  I ink blended the butterfly in the center with Simon Says Stamp Hot Mama ink cube.  My rectangle was cut with the same paper pack using Spellbinders Essentual Rectangle dies.  Flowers were cut out from a Spellbinders DOM Jan 2023 with white cardstock.  I ink blended them to match and added some subtle yellow Copic marker Y11 for the centers.  I ink blended my rectangle pattern paper a bit with High Dive ink cube.  I cut out a strip of the lilac pattern paper and glued everything to a A2 card base.  

My sentiment was stamped with black ink on white cardstock using Hero Arts Journal Messages Stamp that I cut into a strip and added with a foam strip.  Lastly, I added a couple white gel pen accents.  That finishes my card.  I had fun with this card.  Thank you for taking a peek.
