Butterfly Garden

Hey y'all, happy Friday!  I did NOT do laundry yesterday but maybe I can put it off until Monday, ha.  I have a bunch of things to do today and laundry is not on the list.

Anywha, here's my card for today:


I busted out the now-retired Sketched Butterflies and some (slightly) older DSP for this week's Freshly Made Sketch:


Which I paired with the Creative Colour Challenges palette:


Hey, since the Color Throwdown is no longer throwing down, maybe I should make this challenge my weekly pairing for FMS.  There's a thought.  Anyway, something about these colors made me think of butterflies in a garden, so I went with it.  At first I was going to do the card base in Cajun Craze, but I traded it out for Garden Green instead, though I think the Cajun would have looked good too.  I didn't worry about really blending the colors on the butterfly, just did a quick color job and called it good.  Some Cajun Craze + Gold Dots to match the Wink of Stella on his wings and it's done!

Have a great day, peeps!
