Here's the sketch - looks easy enough right? Link up a design and you just might win a prize from Top Dog Dies. Who wouldn't welcome a few more of those to their stash? I love adding to my collection and Top Dog Dies has added so many great sets to the shop. You have to check out the new Cupcake, Balloons, and Cake Dies sets just to name a few.
I wanted to keep mine clean and simple (yep! a totally flat card from me today on card stock no less! LOL) so I cut the Butterfly die from white card stock and then used the Dotted Border set to make the fancy edge.
Because the Buttterfly die is so fancy I wanted to keep the other elements fancy too - hence the double dotted border and the fancy script sentiment from Waltzingmouse "Big Day Essentials".
I inlaid the butterfly die and matted it on slightly darker pink card stock so that it would peek through the die cut windows. The only white pieces I reinserted were the ones around the antennae. If you wanted to make this a little fancier a second butterfly attached only at the center with the wings loose would be nice too.
