Usually have a diffcult time with Neutral Colors as a background, however in the inspiration picture it really enhances the beautiful colors of the birds...so decided to use toffee as my background. Chose a Butterfly die and cut one in each of the four colors, a lot of piecing, layered with pebble and fussy-cut. Used the sorbet cut as a shadow of the butterfly, attached to the yellow with 3D thin foam tape and curled the wings. Wanted a frame for my butterfly so went with the Wonky Stitched Squares in three colors, attached the peacock and sorbet squares to the background, adhered the pebble square with thin foam on top and then added my Colorful Butterfly. Stamped my sentiment in peacock ink directly on background.
This is my Design Team project for Heart2Heart "Color Challenge" using a gorgeous combination of CTMH colors: Toffee, Pomegranate, Sorbet, Canary, Peacock and Pebble...I wanted so much to put this inspiration picture on my project.

Thank you. They are called Wonky Stitched Squares by Lil' Inker, but postioned at an angle.

Beautiful! Love that stitching and butterfly!
Looking at the colour chart, it doesn't look like the same set of colours on your card because you have used them in such a different way. So many of the bold ones are hidden within the wings of the butterfly but they are there. Such an interesting interpretation of this challenge - love what you did! Gorgeous butterfly but what a ton of work!
Your butterfly is simply stunning! Thanks for being a part of the H2H Design Team.
Your card is Beautiful! I love the beautiful colors you used for the butterfly and love the wonky Stitched squares! Thanks for joining in the challenge with us at HLS Anything Goes with Dies!
