Today I had fun using all scraps from my scrap bags
and a couple of fun dies from the Dies R Us store!
I cut three 4 1/4" square white card bases and added a
pretty and very detailed butterfly to each using
Cheery Lynn Designs Small Lace Butterfly With Angel Wing
and a few colorful scrap designer papers and card stocks.
Now this die is called small, but it is pretty good sized,
as you can see.
Also a little hint to cut such intricate and detailed dies,
is to use a piece of wax paper in-between the die and papers.
I also always use a shim with mine, but that totally depends
on 'your' machine.
I added a sentiment to Cheery Lynn Designs Horizons Fishtail Banners.
These were pretty easy to put together
and I just love all the detail in the butterflies!
