...a nice piece of paper.
Hi Blogland. Like most crafters, I have backing papers coming out of my ears! But, I can always be swayed to grab another one or ten!!

Just like this one.. But what to do with it?

Make something purdy I guess...

I started off by cutting away the edges of the paper to make for a more manageable shape to play with..
It was the shaped edges of the paper as well as the colour that caught my eye, so I really wanted to incorporate these edges into my project.

I added one strip of foam tape to one of the edges and a double layer of foam tape to another edge

and added them to the now Square piece of paper, staggering them slightly to add a bit of dimension.. Also, if you squint a bit and use a little bit of imagination it forms a sort of Butterfly!! Hence, the next step...

I cut and embossed three Butterflies using the
Marianne Craftable Butterfly (CR1205) Die,

and positioned them onto my project.

Adding some gems to give the effect of movement, and a simple sentiment...

A nice piece of paper, and a nice effect...
Thanks for checking us out.
See you soon..
Andy.
