The gardens have their own solarium where it is a balmy 80β. The perfect environment for butterflies to flourish. If any of you visit western Michigan I invite you to check this place out.

I set it aside and tried again with a lighter shade of gray. After brushing on the color I thought it was too blah so I added the floral details in white and black from the Altenew stamp set, Dainty Bouquet. </td></tr></tbody></table><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhkoZTTGtDM1zKXutjcyGQMKjJHue_ilxAJh6CqySpHjuEkMBuDtNqgA-0SlbaBmTuKSApC9wBiFs1vOuYRtDbwJMg1twQV848b2V33f9nOSepXQst4XoBFcMY0K3AH--T2VWhIPpYH1OL5Kvo9xo8OJ28XR9YD9ssYE2yNPt5Kq4nvg7a1DYY8lI791Q=s2356" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2356" data-original-width="1749" height="320" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhkoZTTGtDM1zKXutjcyGQMKjJHue_ilxAJh6CqySpHjuEkMBuDtNqgA-0SlbaBmTuKSApC9wBiFs1vOuYRtDbwJMg1twQV848b2V33f9nOSepXQst4XoBFcMY0K3AH--T2VWhIPpYH1OL5Kvo9xo8OJ28XR9YD9ssYE2yNPt5Kq4nvg7a1DYY8lI791Q=s320" width="238" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">I like the black acting as an accent or highlight color. <br />I think using the white and black dye inks was a good choice. </td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh4j3beJgK57AJRe2xiAzYI1yX5UR02Dbu9RrYmIlD5j8u1qkxfjKryONBP2uqqGviz-Irfb_737_lDp02R6N0vQzM9YbhKjAimdzVwLbnvdRYaskbI_Xsz4ZJ3d8tEJQ8gWe-RD0h7k17f0-4PgT-tdG5bw_PLuvN3hZr5ESNC5pAirEKKqUgPsknqqA=s2425" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1816" data-original-width="2425" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh4j3beJgK57AJRe2xiAzYI1yX5UR02Dbu9RrYmIlD5j8u1qkxfjKryONBP2uqqGviz-Irfb_737_lDp02R6N0vQzM9YbhKjAimdzVwLbnvdRYaskbI_Xsz4ZJ3d8tEJQ8gWe-RD0h7k17f0-4PgT-tdG5bw_PLuvN3hZr5ESNC5pAirEKKqUgPsknqqA=s320" width="320" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The sentiment is extended from the main base of the card. <br />It does however, it does fit comfortably into an A2 envelope.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><span style="font-size: large;">Challenges Entered:</span><div><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="https://colorthrowdown.blogspot.com/2022/01/color-throwdown-677.html">The Color Throwdown: ctd677</a></span></div><div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://thepaperplayers.blogspot.com/2022/01/pp575-sketch-challenge-from-jaydee.html">The Paper Players: Sketch Challenge- PP575</a></span></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;">I flipped the sketch</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;"><span style="font-size: large;"><a href="http://timeoutchallenges.blogspot.com/2022/01/challenge-206-friend-quote.html">Time Out Challenge: Challenge 206- Friend Quote</a></span></div><img height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEjhT2rz5zEhCyD9gJ_Ideqz_FA77ANQZ3EeCPG2IJoC3TEyztTEKlBlTzRXN5vDLVktFGb-g088l0NajuVd7jqowF1GmYNuILjP6PyNoWzU0y1igsrfUVi4kosiL93_Px0Ulz8NC9PtbX-orPiTKaz_0QfdgknM5x6KMQxeQrFE5luWB4nJUI5pOzYMtw=w147-h200" width="147" /> <img height="199" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEg_P2-GJwlDGEClbf_7sJWC3zCMVQ_ePod8bk1uU41Wq9Hlaw2QoV4nx5sfd8SgYnMDbLmnsrgGU4wJHN9C5KX0kWIfnWk9wyPQtgdyIaj6SyX_POTpw7oP8Q68jdm24P7SqFAcYNPBQbTrcAnp5Ls2gkKCRJWA71_fiFgm6EYP61MlikUN5Cs4z8an9A=w200-h199" width="200" /> <img height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEh7MWrBK-41UYu7y_zSo6nlU4MaYUCsQoZ_89bTFUCkXLrVAyETLt7ocf5ozaYp3YMCAaqz-W1r5Dj-ozwRNWvl8rm8y2ISkGWfJ4VjatG92tnDQTX2acsQTBtdIjOdC_HXVWlPqE1d_6KRYXfC3bnFgTc5weI8npk4DqR7WwJ5jOc079U-ohBAT5frrQ=w150-h200" width="150" /><p></p></div><div><span style="font-size: large;">Thank you so much for stopping by and I do appreciate you taking time out of your busy day to spend time with me.
