Well, that's what happened to me with the challenge at Color Hues... LOL.
The combination of orange and slate grey was very challenging for me at first, but after I made my card for the challenge (you can see it HERE), I began to like this color combo so much, so I made another card!
I stamped the butterfly's wings (My Favorite Things 'Brilliant Butterflies' stamp set) in two shades of orange (dried magigold distress oxide and Pinkfresh apricot). The lacy wings and the body were stamped with Ranger's watering can ink, and so was the sentiment (Waffle Flower 'Elegant Sentiments' stamps and dies set).
I adhered all the elements to the slate grey cardstock with foam dots, and added some enamel dots in orange, a translucent gem in orange in the middle of the body, and some clear dots.
The whole panel were adhered on the white basis.
Challenges:
Less Is More #483 - Spring, as spring is full of butterflies all around:
I was inspired by the different shades of orange and the butterfly.
I believe my next card is going to be totally different...
Thank you for visiting my blog. Your comments are much appreciated.

I love reading that a cardmaker was at first apprehensive about a color combo and by the end they loved it. I love your butterfly card a lot, Libeeti! It is pure CAS magic! The gems are placed perfectly too. Thanks for playing along at Color Hues!
I thought this was a challenging colour combo too but your orange butterfly stands out beautifully against the grey and the colour really draws the eye in to your focal point. Thanks for playing along with my CAS challenge over at The Paper Players this week!
