Friday Die Day

Hello friends

This week's Friday Die Day is another new Die D-Lite and it features
one of the all time crafty favourites (and mine) - a butterfly!

The die set is called Brilliant Butterfly.
It consists of two dies and the approximate measurements are:

Butterfly: 2.20 x 1.55 in
Flourish: 2.05 x 1.20 in

This is how it looks cut/embossed.


I've chosen to make a simple mini card this week.
Card base of white, further matting of craft card and bright green.
All using 6 x 6 Matting Basics A and B.


On a further piece of white card I've positioned
the butterfly within a 6 x 6 Matting Basics B.


I'm keeping the aperture piece and placed 3D Foam Squares to the reverse.

I stamped a sentiment to the bottom section - Scripty Sayings from Lawn Fawn.
Once the aperture piece was in place I reinserted the die cut pink butterfly.
Simples!

 Brilliant Butterfly is available to buy from your Spellbinders retailer
now and because it is a Die D-Lite these are normally bargains
and nice additions to your die collection.
Tomorrow I am up with the lark and heading to Leeds.
I will be demoing all day at Samuel Taylors, Roseville Street.
If you live that way it will be wonderful to see you.
Wishing you all a brilliant (possibly butterfly!) weekend.
Take care friends.

  7. Morning Christine, I love this technique, the effect is gorgeous with the aperture raised and then the die-cut popped into the aperture, very very effective.
    Have a great time at Samuel Taylors.
    Lots of love from Patricia xx
