GDT Card For Make My Monday Challenge - One or More Butterflies

 

I'm  back today with another GDT card for the Make My Monday Challenge Blog:

This time we want to see 'one or more butterflies' on your projects.  For more details about the challenge and to see the cards from the Design Team, head over to the challenge blog here.

Here's another view of my card:

To make my card I used a piece of 6 by 6 patterned paper from Stampin' Up.

I trimmed it to 12cm square and use coloured 'reverse side' as my midde layer over a base layer of black paper.  I die cut a square using a Crafters Companion square stitched die as my next layer and then used a scrap of the 'reverse side' as the base of the die cut sentiment with the words die cut out of black paper.

It's an easy way of getting coordinating layers and I don't feel I'm 'wasting' one side of the patterned paper!

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:

Ellibelle's I Spy With My Little Eye Challenge - I spy at least one butterfly
