A Duet of Butterfly cards

I have two A2 cards using the same die cut in 2 different colors.

Let me know which one you like by leaving me a comment at the end of this post.


The sentiment die is by Memory Box.
After I glued the butterfly die cut onto the white cardstock, I noticed that my glue had seeped out from underneath the butterflies. 

To fix that I took a soft makeup brush full of Jacquard powder and dusted it all over the card front. 
 I dusted under the butterfly wings so the texture was the same throughout the card. 

Sloppy? I think it looks sloppy. Did this totally fix it? No, not really but I couldn’t throw it away. Consider lesson learned to have a lighter hand when applying the Bearly Art glue.

The patterned paper is by October Afternoon. I stamped, colored and fussy cut a butterfly stamp by Cloud 9. 

 Then I colored on the butterflies of the die cut for a tone on tone look and hoping to add some interest. I did outline one of them with a white gel pen. The sentiment on the inside said, “I’m here for you”. (Idk if anyone will get the symbolism)

So which one do you like better? Comment below. 

Thanks for looking. HAGD!
