Don’t ask me where this die came from as I have no idea and I’ve had it for a long time but rarely used it. For some reason it fell into my hands when I was searching for another item and I decided to do a test cut in white. It reminded me of a butterfly when cut. Then I had the thought that if I cut out with scraps in rainbow colours I could use a Jen McGuire technique and offset them as I put them together. It works for this challenge and it still reminds me of a butterfly but you can decide what you think. The sentiment is from a Hampton Art set and the embellishments are from Trinity stamps. Although you can’t tell from the photo, they are rainbow iridescent pearls.
Our house guests left yesterday and with today being one of those gray dreary ones, apart from a walk with the dog, I’ve stayed in my craft room. Thanks for popping in for a peek.

Thanks, I tried a slightly different way to add the pieces but it was too busy so when I remembered the technique I liked the result.

thanks, can’t take credit for the idea as it is something Jen showed a couple of years ago.

It is a very unique die and has flow to it and it was a great idea to layer your rainbow using the die.

Thanks – I still have the test layer I cut first and I also made some backgrounds last week. I’ve laid it over one of them and like it so another card will probably develop soon.

Love how you layered that die, and I agree it does resemble a butterfly. FYI—I have that die and it is Ringed Buckle from Memory Box.

That is a very cool die and is perfect for the offset technique. The rainbow colors are beautiful. It does look like a butterfly but could be used in a number of ways.
