They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old;

At the going down of the sun and in the morning

We Will Remember Them

Thoughts are also with our Troops who are still serving away from home.

Stay safe guys and gals

Take care for now peeps…and until I return Happy Creating.

My new Spellbinders Dies Iron work  motifs I bought at SECC I adore these!

I just cut out 2 of the biggest dies and off set them with a dab of Collall 3D gel inbetween for dimension.

The butterflies are punched out of glitter card for that added sparkle.

I created the fancy border down the edge of using a Martha Stewart punch and popped it on to the card base to give it dimension.

I have used Graces Frame cuttlebug folder and cut out the middle section and popped it up on foam pads. I added an embossed backgroud butterflies embossing  folder and then adhered the FF Die Cut decoupage onto it.

The whiteness of the card makes the decoupage stand out fabulously i think.
