Birthday Butterflies


Lots of people using this die in lots of ways lately, so I thought I would join in the fun. I won't lie - this was a little tricky! Because my panel of blues was slightly shorter than the die, when I cut it out, I ended up with a left piece and a right piece which meant I had 3 pieces to put together, rather than just laying the black outline into the panel.  In the end I wrestled it in (almost) perfectly and I'm pretty happy with the results.

  8. Beautiful composition and design! The black edge around the white butterflies is an excellent contrast and gives lovely definition to the die cuts. I love how they pop against the varied shades of blue.
