Color Hues #60 and The Card Concept #191

I am a thief.  I admit it.  I stole the idea for my Color Hues card from the photo image at The Card Concept where I will send my CAS card.  My friend Marcia is hosting Color Hues and wants us to use blue and turquoise on our cards.  This was serendipity at its best. 


The Mondo Gerbera Daisy from EbyE was white heat embossed on Bristol and colored with Zigs.  The Altenew butterfly was clear heat embossed over blue and the Zig was used to color it as well as the sentiment strip.  I struggled with the sentiment because I couldn't decide where to place it.  I'm still not sure that I shouldn't have just left it off.

That is in no way, shape or form stealing, Bobby - that is being inspired at its finest!
So beautiful simply stamped and colored on your card front - and the sentiment is perfect, in case you're still questioning your decision!
I saw hundreds of blue butterflies yesterday!

How beautiful, Bobby! You were truly inspired by that beautiful photo! A perfect way to use these colors! I love how the sentiment balances it all out!

I agree with Michele, you were inspired and boy oh boy did you nail it! This is gorgeous. In fact, it's a new favorite from you, Bobby! The sentiment looks perfect where it is. I'm calling another winner here!

Wow! Great gerbera daisy, and it's absolutely gorgeous in these colors -- great step outside of the box with your artistic license. Personally, I think the sentiment is great right where it's at, it grounds the flower

I love everything about this card - the colouring, the gorgeous flower and yes, the sentiment too. I agree with others that it's perfect where it is and balances the card nicely.

Absolutely gorgeous, Bobby! You saw the photo but made this totally your own. The airy look is so wonderful. I think the sentiment is in perfect placement, as it makes a triangle from the butterfly, the left of the flower and leads to eye to the sentiment. I love it! Thanks for joining our challenge at Color Hues!
