For Jen's challenge today. I actually made another card on Saturday (and its alternate as a birthday card for my SIL), and then remembered that this site included butterflies and I am on a mission to use my edger dies more. So this is the card going to Hildie.
Nothing to explain, really. Just white liked ok for the bluebird and butterflies, but I added texture with an ef and buffed it with Inka Gold, so it's shimmery rather than the odd colour it looks in the photo.

this border/edge die came out great. I too have many edge dies, but just can't seem to make a card that is to my satisfaction. Maybe I'm trying too hard: this card is gorgeous ! The soft colors send a calm message..

Great edger die and I love the texture from the ef. I wish I could see this in person because I bet that inka gold really adds a beautiful luster and sheen, especially against that beautiful blue/gold swirl dp. Your sentiment stamps are perfect to inspire Hildie during this difficult time. Wonderful card.

Lovely color combo and I really like the contrast between the AI blue with the shimmer gold. Quiet but significant. And the three different fonts for the sentiment.

That edger die is lovely. Great card for this challenge. Love your sentiment too. I have a bunch of random words and never think to use them in this way. Must make a note to self for future cards.

Really like the effect of the gold buffing to add the shimmer.
