FOSTV 31 - Die Cuts

This week's challenge at Friends of Speedy TV is to use die cuts.  You can find the challenge over at Friends of Speedy TV challenges as challenge 31 

My original idea was to die cut an MFP image and use it on a card with some other die cuts but then I saw this week's JUGS inspiration photo and I went back to the drawing board and came up with this card.  The sketch is actually VLVJuly Week 5 but it is far from CAS!


I used the butterfly from Daffodil Greetings and stamped it all over the card base in grey ink.  I stamped another in black ink which I popped up and glittered!  I added the red touches with Pan Pastels.  The flowers, foliage, oval and strip were all die cut with dies - mostly Spellbinders.


This is a close up of the popped up butterfly - you can see the sparkle from the added Stickles.

We would love it if you played along this week. There is another great stamp set called Wild Horses for one lucky participant this week.  Good luck.
