Greetings to you on this brand new month! On this first day of July we launch a new challenge at Color Hues, where dear Nancy asks us to use aqua and WHITE. Oh my does it ever make me scratch my head when one of our color duos is a NEUTRAL. I'm writing this post ahead of time, so I know that our designers will blow me away with their ideas for these colors.
I decided on a die cut butterfly, a few flowers, lots of rhinestones and an upbeat sentiment. Here you go!
I found an embossed bit of card stock in my things-ready-to-go pile. Adding a whoosh of sponged ink brought out the texture a bit. I die cut the butterfly outline from that, adding a delicate vellum die cut inside (both are from Spellbinders.). The leaves and flowers were made with Wplus9 dies, and the sentiment is from Stamp Simply.
Because of all those gems I will hand deliver this to a friend who needs encouragement and hope she likes it!
Please do join us to play along with the challenge! If your weather is at all like mine, it's a nice time of year to stay inside with the air conditioning!
Hope you're keeping cool.. Thanks for coming by!

Your butterfly is definitely the star of the show! Add the white on white florals and lightly colored leaves and you have one great design!
Love your butterfly, I'm sure your friend will appreciate this encouragement beauty. :)
Cindy, I would have never known that a neutral color is difficult for you as this card is lovely and well balanced. I love that Butterfly and how you sprinkled the aqua throughout the card. Take care!
Your card is absolutely gorgeous Cindy and I would have never known it was any kind of struggle to create! Your design is perfect with the delicate butterfly and pretty flowers. I hope your friend was comforted by your beautiful creation!
