Fluttering Gertie

My mom passed on a love of butterflies to me, so this was a HAVE to have it when I saw the stamp. I'm finally getting around to creating with sweet Gertie and can't wait to keep playing!

Sketch Inspiration ~ Bellarific Friday

Color Inspiration ~ Makeup 4 for the Weekend #14

Honestly, this was my original inspiration, but the colors got a bit darker in my card. I loved the breezy blue and picked up on the ‘peek’ of green in the plant and book under the bed. I thought the colors would be beautiful feather blended together on my butterfly girl. They just got a bit dark as I tweaked them. Plus the flower decorations ‘fluttering’ from the ceiling made me think of butterflies.
