You Are So Special
Hello bloggers! Here's a card that uses the Butterfly Rectangle in a different sort of way. I cut the Butterfly Rectangle out of white card several times. I nipped away the two longer sides of a couple of the Butterfly Rectangles. I selected a piece of Pixied card fro my stash for the background. It used Lava Red and Sun Yellow Pixie Powders. I glued the four trimmed die cuts to the edges of the background. I cut a smaller square of the pixied card and used the shorter sides of the Butterfly rectangles and glued them to the edges of the smaller pixied card. I added mounting foam to the back to raise it then seated it in the centre of the card. I cut the You Are So Special Block sentiment twice. Once out of white card and once out of black card. I removed the sentiments from both of them, then used the black die cut as a shadow behind the white sentiment and glued it in the centre of the card. The card was completed with white mats and layers. The finished dimensions are 7 1/4" x 7 1/4" in size. All for now, Sue x
