Hello,

Today, I have  two die cut cards to share! 

I cut both cards using Artfully Sent Cricut cartridge (CTMH).
I heat embossed a few of the "left over" hexagons in gold (and red) and adhered them to the inside of cards.

First up is:

I cut the butterfly using Artbooking Cricut cartridge (it was altered in CCR) and heat embossed it in black UTEE (ultra thick embossing enamel), twice. The second time, I also sprinkled some copper and platinum UTEE.

Now...if you're going to leave the card with the open front like that, I suggest inking or heat embossing the back side of the butterfly for a finished look.
You could also back the die cut front panel with glittered or patterned paper, if you don't want the writing showing.
Another option is to write the message on the back of the card.

I'm not really into gold...but lately, I've been in love with gold! Especially gold/mint or coral, and gold/black.
I used the CTMH Artbooking cartridge for the star overlay and the flower, and I heat embossed them in gold.
I used CTMH Art Philosophy cartridge for the banner and the panel (altered in CCR and trimmed).
Then, I added some stamping to the panel and banner, popped-up the flower with 3-D foam tape, and added the thread and button.

Thank you for stopping by!
