I have always loved these 2 colors together, so this was a fun and easy challenge for me...thanks Stef!! I used a new to me but older PFS stamp, stencil & die set called Butterfly Garden and came up with this...
My colors are a little deeper IRL (especially the yellow!), but I'm just so happy with the way this card turned out! My background piece used a PFS cover plate die called Diagonal Stitched Plaid and I wish you could see more of it, but I didn't want to cut down the main focal image any more than I already had. I stamped the main image with Versamark ink and then heat set with gold embossing powder. Next I stenciled with the coordinating stencils using shades of blue for the leaves and parts of the butterflies, and yellows for the flowers and butterflies. I did this process twice so I could die cut the butterflies out and pop up with dimensionals.
I mounted this panel to a panel of Misty Moonlight cs and then adhered both to the yellow card base. I finished with a simple "Hello" sentiment that was included in the stamp set, embossing it in gold on a scrap of the Misty Moonlight cs and then die cutting it out. The butterflies from the 2nd stamping were added with foam dots and it was finished.

One of my favorite color combos, Marcia! I just love it used with your gorgeous PFS set - and the gold is just the perfect accent to it!

Marcia, so beautifully delicate and the pastel shades work perfectly.
A favorite combination of mine as well... What a pretty set and it wears these colors beautifully! I love the detail that the cover plate provides. Just a gorgeous card.
So pretty, Marcia! Having everything outlined in gold really elevates the beauty of the stamped images. I can see why you were happy with this one!

What a lovely card, Marcia! I agree with the others, the gold adds so much interest to this little work of art!
I love these colors together too and I really LOVE how you've used them, my friend! The flowers and layered butterflies are amazing! The close up really shows the embossing. So pretty!
This is so delicate and pretty, Marcia! The gold adds a richness to the colors scheme. How delightfully spring this is!
I know this may seem odd, but your pretty florals remind me of a carpet we had in the old house, always warm and sunny even on a grey day! Super showcase of the colours Marcia. :)
What a delightful card in the soft blues and yellows, Marcia. Popping up the butterflies adds wonderful dimension.
Marcia, your card is simply gorgeous! Love this in blue and yellow, it's bright, cheerful and so Spring-like! Those pretty butterflies deserved to be seen with the added dimension. Beautifully done, my friend!
This is so beautiful, Marcia! The soft blues and yellow make for a perfect springtime card. I think I got this set on sale a while back, and it's never seen the light of day! Thanks for the inspiration to get to it!
Swooning over your butterfly garden card, Marcia; so pretty, especially in yellows and blues. Tranquil, eye-catching and just all-around lovely!
