Muse Card Challenge

I've been away at our beach house for a couple of days at Queenscliff - it was very relaxing! I took some craft supplies, but in the end I just went for walks and read my book.

I decided I should make a card as soon as I got back, because when I have a break, I tend to lose my Mojo. I was inspired by Marion's card in the Muse Card Challenge. My other inspiration is the scarf I am wearing today.




I used Gelatos to colour the butterflies. I didn't want to blend the colours too much, because I wanted the contrasting colours like Marion's flowers and the scarf.
I used a warm grey Prisma colour to highlight the butteflies - it is less obvious IRL, but the lighting in the photo picks it up. 

 I'm also entering this in SSS Wednesday Challenge - Keep it CAS and CASology - Garden theme.
