OCC wk3/day2 - Die-cutting techniques - Butterflies 2

For my second card using the block-cutting technique shown by Betsy Veldman, I used the positive die cut and adhered it to some dark brown Core'dinations cardstock, using foam adhesive for some added dimension and added just a few sequins. I love the pop of colour against the dark background. To give the butterfly (Die'sire Butterflies die) centre stage, I cut out a simple tag (Spellbinders) out of Neenah Desert Storm cardstock, stamped the sentiment (Laybug Crafts Ink) in brown ink (Hero Arts Cup O' Joe) and attached it to the card with some twine.
