I'm Feeling Orange!

Woohoo!! I can emboss!! :-))   

When the fabulous Lols, read that I had no embossing things 

she sent me a Cuttlebug swirls folder (along with some little mice!) 

- what a STAR ***

So here's my first attempt with it.

I think I got my layers a little wrong,

'cos it cut right through in some places, 

but I do love the texture it gives you.

The butterfly is a Spellbinders die, which doesn't get used much because it's the devil of a job to get the paper out, once it's been cut. I did see a little trick about adding a layer of wax paper first, so I will give that a try.

I used a neat little trick for adding the glitter. I put a wide strip of DS tape on my card, then die cut my oval. I peeled off the tape backing and pressed the sticky side into my glitter. Easy peasy and much less messy than glue.

There was such a lot of awesome talent on display,

I was stunned to be chosen.

Huge thank you to Chrissie and Mandi
