Butterfly Dreams

Good Afternoon everyone.  Firstly I would like to say a big Thank You  for all of your good wishes recently.  I am beginning to feel a lot better and the dizzy spells are nowhere near as bad as they have been. 


So, on to today's card.  It's Less is More time again and this week the challenge is Cut it Out - to make an aperture or some kind of hole on our cards.  I used an octagonal nestie for mine and also my Marianne Creatables gorgeous Butterfly Die.  I started by cutting out a white butterfly and then I got out my craft iron to melt some Angelina Fibres together and cut a second butterfly from this.  I used wet glue to stick the two butterflies together and then my quickie glue pen to attach the wings of  the base to my card.  The picture doesn't show it very well but the fibre butterfly really sparkles in real life.  The sentiment is computer generated and printed directly onto the card.

Thank you so much for visiting and I hope you like my card.
