Die-cutting

I used some dies to make the frame of the card. First, I die-cut the flower shape. On top of that, I wanted to make a frame, so I die-cut a circle shape with two circle dies. I used foam tape to put the frame on top of the die-cut flower shape.

Giving the image some dimension.

I like it when an image has some dimension. So I cut out some parts of the image. I color them with my alcohol markers. I use foam tape to stick them on the image to give that part dimension.

I also cut some extra butterflies and an extra flower. I color them in the same colors as I used before. Now I can put an extra flower in the upper left corner and the small butterflies by the sentiment.

Assembling the card.

Now its time to assemble the card. I place my image in the circular frame. At the bottom of my frame, I place my sentiment surrounded with the two butterflies. On the Inside of the frame, I place my black letters.

On the base card, I stick my pattern paper. In the middle of the pattern paper, I place my frame with the digital image.
