It has been far too long since I've played cards with Pinkfresh Studio's Monthly Challenge! Through the generosity of my friend TK, I had a few of their newest Butterflies waiting to play, too!
It might be hard to see the gorgeous florals - I did such a good job
matching inks to these Fluttering [washi] Butterflies! But my Floral Notes are there and one of my favorites even though it has been discontinued. I mounted the arch
onto an embossed image from my snippets bin and added a few PF gold metallic pearls.
I'm thinking that the gals at Triple B will like them, too! Not quite as 'pink' as
their inspiration, but two out of three B's isn't bad, right?
While I had that little bowl of butterflies out, I picked three that fit the bill for Color Hues #85: Yellow and Pink...
Lovely layers using PF Fancy Floral 1 cover, Curvy Leaves, and Fancy Circles.
That bottom flutterby looks a little bit more orange but you'll have to trust
me - although yellow+pink does equal orange!
Hope you're having lots of fun with color this week! I'd better get these delivered!

Love the way you used the washi butterflies!! These cards are GORGEOUS!!
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely gorgeous cards, Michele!!!
ReplyDeleteSo much colorful fluttering movement between your two cards, Michele! I would expect them to take flight at any moment. They obviously love those pretty florals on your first card as much as you do. Your yellow wreath is a beautiful way to use the colors, too. Hmmm, I never thought of how pink and yellow make orange. Maybe that's why I love pink and orange together.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh--those rainbow butterflies couldn't look happier! I would never have thought to adhere them to that PFS flower branch but it's perfect! And your second framed card is a beauty, too!
ReplyDeleteYour flutterbys are gorgeous! The yellow and pink together is fabulous!
ReplyDeleteTwo gorgeous cards. The Washi Butterflies are so pretty and then I love how you saved the pink ones for the wreath card. Both backgrounds are pretty as well. Thanks for playing along at Color Hues.
ReplyDeleteA duo of gorgeous, my friend! Those butterflies are loveliness, plus - especially on the card you created for Colour Hues! Once again, thank you for embracing our challenges with style and flair! Mega hugs heading your way!
