Butterflies And Change

Happy Sunday!
 
Back on the Dies R Us Blog.
 
 
My card uses the beautiful Butterfly Exhibit die set from Memory BoxThis particular die set was out of stock at the time of writing.....however you could easily use a number of butterfly die sets to create this look, here are 2 of my favorites;
 
Memory Box
Colette Butterfly Branch
 
 
Memory Box
Hovering Butterfly Frame
 
 
I am certain either of those would make stunning cards!
 
 
 
 
I die cut my butterflies from Toner Paper and then ran it through my Mini Minc Machine to add this gorgeous Hot Pink Foil.  It really picks up all of the delicate and intricate designs.  Adhered them on to a panel of white card stock with Swiss Dots Embossing texture.  Little circle dots stamped in Frost White ink. 

 
Sentiment by Gina K Designs, Take Flight was stamped on to a strip of Vellum using Marcasite Embossing Powder, a perfect match to my die cuts.  And those handy dandy little foiled butterflies are great for hiding the adhesive. 
 
This card will be entered into the Challenge at Simon Says Monday, Add Texture.

  2. Wow! Hot pink foil, what a great idea. Love this amazing sentiment on the CAS design. It really says it all. Sometimes you gotta let the sentiment do that.
