The Star

This card was inspired by another blogger's posting a few days ago.  The layout featured a recessed die cut and I thought it was very attractive . . .

I doubled the top layer in order to give the smaller cut out areas better support after popping up the layer with foam tape.  The bottom layer holds the die cut butterflies.  In order to avoid having to deal with tricky coloring of seven small butterflies, I simply scattered die powders in a loose ombre fashion on another panel and then used the die to cut them out.  I got an imprecise look which was exactly what I was after. 

The more I stamp, the more I appreciate the many adventurous aspects of this wonderful hobby!
