SPELLBINDERS BACKGROUND DIE

 

 

This beautiful "Butterfly Magic" die from Spellbinders is about all you need on a card.  I ordered this die out of curiosity and am so glad I did.  I love butterfly designs and flowers so this was a natural for me to try.

 

The card base is just a light yellow card stock.  The design is cut on a cream colored card stock.  It was a little tricky attaching it to the front of the card since it is such an open design.  I decided to use Judi Kins Diamond Glaze but had to be very careful to just put small amounts on various portions of the design.  Then I had to carefully add it to the front of the card so it was place exactly where I wanted it.  I didn't want smears of Diamond Glaze showing up on the yellow base.

 

After I got to that point, I wasn't sure how to proceed.  It seemed like it needed something more so I put the question to my friends on our Yahoo Group.  One of the suggestions was to just put a piece like I did........which if I remember correctly it is called a fish tail tag??? 

I have a second background die with a different design that I am going to give a try very soon.  If you are interested in ordering one of these, let me know.

Just a note about the background dies:  I didn't realize this when I purchased them, but they are called Expandable Patterns..........which means that if you want to cover a larger area such as on a scrapbook page, more than one of these can be cut and they fit together kind of like a puzzle.  Mine was cut down slightly but I think you can tell that the design on the left side can be matched with the right side.  (Not sure I'm explaining this very clearly.)  The cut image measures 4 x 6 inches.

 

Thank you so much for stopping by!
