Based on some card swatches I created with the help of a friend I have gotten as close as I can to the colours for this challenge. The mint macaron green was difficult to get with my inks but I did my best. The photo seems to change the colours slightly, but the teal CS is pretty close to Bermuda Bay in R.L. And the lighter green isn’t bad against the actual paper swatch I had, but looks a bit darker in the photo. C.S. is from Gina K and Heffy Doodle. I used some butterfly stamps from MFT and fussy cut them out before putting the two together. I thought I had dies for this set but the ones I have seem to be for an earlier set as they wouldn’t work here. It wasn’t so complicated to fussy cut thankfully. I also added some Sakura pen glitter to the decorative wings which doesn’t show well here. The sentiment is from Joy Clair and I really like the font of this stamp while the sunshine is from a Concord & 9th set I forgot I had and haven’t inked yet. Am leaving it on my desk to be sure I use more of the included stamps. I added a few gems to the curve of the sun for some bling. Although the card has several layers I still managed to keep it CAS.
Pretty card! I like the colors in the challenge. I like your sun and butterfly.

Thanks – it needed bling somewhere so I thought the sun should have it.

I like this butterfly set but now have to search out the correct dies as the one I did buy isn’t the right set.
