I was thrilled to use a bunch of my scraps for this card! I save all scraps of the alcohol ink backgrounds that I make, just for this reason! Even the smallest scrap can be used in die-cutting. The die is Simon Says Stamp Butterfly Drift, and I cut it 8 times, once in white, and then 7 more times, placing a different colour scrap over each of the butterflies as I ran it through my Cuttlebug.
I paper-pieced the rainbow-coloured butterflies back into the white outline. I die-cut a scalloped border for each side of the vertical strip (Lawn Fawn Stitched Scalloped Border). The background is embossed with Taylored Expressions Butterfly Swirl and I adhered the vertical strip with foam tape. I stamped the sentiment (Clearly Besotted) and adhered according to the sketch. To finish the card, I added a coordinating sequin to the center of each butterfly.

We were thinking alike with our butterflies. But they are also so different from each other. Great idea to make them from your scraps. I also collect them, but hardly use them. So this beautiful card is a great idea!
