VIP Die Cuts


From time to time I ordered enough from Paper Wishes to qualify as a VIP and get some extra goodies.  One of those was a die cut sheet from their Butterfly Garden Card Kit.  I decided it was time to use those up - thus this card.   

I started with an Ivory A2 sized card & embossed the front with my Swiss Dots embossing folder (Cuttlebug).  I inked the raised dots with distress ink (Picked Raspberry & Dusty Concord).  The borders were from a die cut from the set - as was the focal sentiment.

Inside: 

For the inside, I created a couple borders using a strip of cream colored card stock that were embossed and inked the same way as the front.  To this I added another die cut and the remaining piece of the border.

There were a few die cuts left over.  I used a large butterfly on one of the cards I'll show tomorrow, and put the rest in my stash to use some other time.
