ATCAS - Challenge #8

This week our challenge is hosted by Florence!
Florence has chosen an AWESOME code word for you which is
And this to me was a no-brainer! Butterflies!
And here is my DT card -
I created this one layer card using a technique that I had learned at my Online Card Classes - Partial Die Cutting. This is where the butterfly die (from Hero Arts) was placed in the middle of the card before folded and only cut through a partial part of the card. I did this for two butterflies. Then I stamped where the die had been cut and then randomly on the card.

I would be happy to try and put together a tutorial if anyone is interested. I love how the butterflies just pop off the card!
I have coloured the butterflies using Touch Twin Markers and then outlining them with a cool grey.
The sentiment is from my Whimsical Phrases set.
Our sponsor for this challenge is


Check out the other inspiration from the DT over at Addicted to CAS! We can't wait to see what you come up with.

I would also like to enter my card into the following challenges
Flutterby Wednesdays - Open Challenge
Cuttlebug Mania - Butterflies
Loves Rubber Stamps - Anything Goes
Papertake Weekly - Anything Goes
Artistic Inspirations - Things with Wings
Happy Campers - Flutterby Butterfly

    Love these butterflies flying off the card - such a cool technique. The colors are bold and beautiful ... and the shadow line makes them seem 3-D and brings them to life. Loll xx

    Firstly. are you sure you didn't set this word, we know you love any excuse to use butterflies! And this is just too stunning, I love how the 2 top ones pop up. Now this is has to go to my number one top Kylie card!!
    I am so glad you said you would put together a tutorial for this as I was reading it and didn't quite understand so was going to mail and ask you!
